Avery’s Law 

This petition is being created to raise awareness and support for a law that would make it illegal to post or share videos or photographs showing a person dying on any social media platform.

The purpose of this petition is to protect the dignity, privacy, and humanity of individuals and their families during some of the most painful moments imaginable. When videos or images of a person’s death are shared online, they can cause severe emotional harm to loved ones, spread trauma to viewers, and turn deeply personal tragedies into public entertainment.

Social media platforms allow content to spread rapidly, often without consent from the individual involved or their family. Many families are forced to learn about the death of a loved one through viral posts rather than through proper notification, which can be devastating and disrespectful.

This petition supports the creation of a law that would:

*Prohibit posting or distributing videos or images capturing a person actively dying or in the moment of death.
*Hold individuals and platforms accountable for sharing harmful or unethical content.
*Promote responsible social media use and protect human dignity online.

By signing this petition, supporters agree that no person’s final moments should be used for views, entertainment, or public circulation, and that stronger legal protections are needed to prevent this type of content from being shared.

Together, we are advocating for compassion, respect, and ethical standards in the digital age.
