Elisabetta Aldrovandi wrote that aggravated defamation did not necessarily involve a lawsuit and that many criminal proceedings ended up forgotten or dragged on for long periods, often concluding with a suspended sentence. According to her, after deducting legal costs, the consequences were often limited; moreover, the three-month deadline for filing a lawsuit could lead those who repeatedly defamed to believe that they would not face consequences. Aldrovandi argued that a civil action could instead affect a person's assets and that the statute of limitations was five years, which could be interrupted indefinitely. She added that those who defamed on social media, in the press, or on television could therefore be exposed to liability actions for life.
