After Carolina Flack passed away on February 15 in the wake of the suicide, an online petition went viral and has so far garnered more than 520,000 signatures by this time (Monday, 2:31 pm).

The petition bears the name "Caroline's Law" and is intended to make it a criminal offense for the British media, which "deliberately and ruthlessly bullies people, whether public figures or not."

The petition was created by a user named Dennis Patton at 38degrees.org.uk and is addressed to Oliver Dowden, Secretary of State for Media.

The online campaign seeks to make people aware of the constant pressure the media exerts on them. It says: "We never knew the truth and what was going on in Caroline's mind when she made the decision to kill herself."

Other online petitions, starting with Caroline's case, require that celebrity abuse be made illegal on social media platforms. Another petition requires social networks to ask users for an ID card confirmation.

It is not the first time the British media has been criticized for the way it treats celebrities. Meghan Markle admitted in an interview with ITV's Tom Bradby that last September was "not good" after being put in the media spotlight. Finally, she and Prince Harry abandoned the kingdom to protect their mental health and happiness.
