unknown Florentine worker
A 40-year-old factory worker from Florence was recently in the news after the Italian Supreme Court (Cassazione) ruled in his favor regarding his wrongful dismissal. In 2018, he was fired for sending offensive messages about his superiors in a WhatsApp group chat, believing the conversation to be private among colleagues. The court determined that he had a reasonable expectation of privacy in that chat, thus annulling his dismissal and ordering his reinstatement along with compensation for lost wages. This case highlights the evolving legal interpretations of privacy in digital communications.
