Hounded by the tabloid press and social media trolls, famous UK TV star Caroline Flack's suicide sparks demands for stringent media rules in Britain
TV presenter Caroline Flack arrives for the BRIT music awards at the O2 Arena in Greenwich, London, February 25, 2015.
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson's spokesman called her death a tragedy and said social media companies needed to do more to make sure that robust processes were in place to remove unacceptable content. While tabloids such as Rupert Murdoch's Sun, the Daily Mirror and Daily Mail play a key role in launching the careers of many reality TV stars, they also tend to track their every move and relationship, and recycle some of the most toxic online criticism to generate new headlines.
One petition called for a ban on the use of anonymous quotes, the invasion of privacy, the publication of private information and medical records.The daughter of a Coca-Cola sales representative, Flack began as a pizza waitress but became one of the most prominent female leaders of Britain's boom in reality TV.
