An Italian woman commits suicide after the release of a sexual video in which she appears

The family of Tiziana Cantone, an Italian woman who committed suicide after sex videos that appear they became viral on the Internet, calls on the Italian authorities to "act so that his death will not remain in vain."

The 31-year-old woman was found hanged on Tuesday at her aunt's house in Mugnano, near Naples, in southern Italy, according to media reports.

Four people are under investigation by prosecutors for alleged defamation of women, Italian state press ANSA reported.

Cantone sent the video to his friends, who posted it online without their knowledge, ANSA said. More than a million people saw it, and she became the target of abuse.

The phrase "Are you filming? Bravo", which tells your lover in the clip became viral online and was printed on T-shirts, smart phone cases and other objects.

Cantone tried to escape the growing attention, leaving his job and moving to Tuscany, where he tried to change his name, ANSA said.

Surrounded by relatives in mourning, Cantone's mother said her daughter was a "very nice girl" outside a church Thursday while playing the coffin at the funeral, which was broadcast live on Italian television.

After a long legal battle, Cantone won a "right to be forgotten" ruling that ordered the recall of video on websites and search engines, including Facebook.

In 2013, the European Union ruled that people should have the "right to be forgotten" online, and search engines were ordered to remove information that was considered "incorrect, inappropriate, irrelevant to excessive" for processing purposes. Data, or they would otherwise be fined.

Still, Cantone was ordered to pay 20,000 euros ($ 22,500) in legal costs, something the local media have called a "final insult."

"Why these images are still there? Why do people still mocks and laughs at this young man who ended his days because of the humiliation he suffered?" Asked on Thursday the Neapolitan daily Il Mattino.

The case has led to a wide discussion on the ruling in Italy.

"As a government, there is not much we can do," Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi told reporters.

"It is above all a cultural battle, also a social and political battle."

"Our commitment is to try to do everything possible ... Violence against women is not an impossible phenomenon to eradicate."
