معنی
Happening without the person's knowledge.
زمینه فرهنگی
The phrase is inextricably linked to the 'Scajola Case' of 2010. It is now a linguistic shorthand for 'implausible denial'. In Italian law, 'notifica' is sacred. If a procedure happens 'a insaputa' of a party, it can often be declared null. There is a strong cultural theme of children doing things 'a insaputa dei genitori', reflecting a mix of rebellion and protection of family peace. With the rise of GDPR, this phrase is frequently seen in Italian media discussing how big tech companies handle user data.
