Mini Dialogue

Cultural Note

Forwarded messages ('messaggi inoltrati') became a major misinformation vector during the COVID-19 pandemic in Italy. Italian health authorities ('Ministero della Salute') ran campaigns specifically warning against forwarding unverified health information on WhatsApp. The platform added the 'Inoltrato' label specifically to reduce uncritical sharing.
