Katie Price's campaign to enforce a 'Track A Troll system' on social media banning online trolls is to be debated in parliament after receiving 140,000 signatures.
The reality TV star, 42, is petitioning for it to become a legal requirement for anyone opening a new social media account to provide a verified form of identification - with under 18s requiring the ID of their parent or guardian before signing up.
The model hopes that by lifting the opportunity for people to hide anonymously online it will make it easier to track those posting abusive messages and bring them justice.
Katie's campaign has now soared past the 100,000 signature threshold meaning that it will now be considered for debate in parliament.
Appearing on BBC news, Katie said she decided to take action after seeing first hand the horrific abuse her disabled son Harvey has received.
Katie said she believes a more transparent social media world would stop people sending hurtful messages.
Speaking to the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire on Monday, Katie argued: "The way forward is social media. Everything is going on the internet.
"So I want there to be a way to find these people who make comments - not just about Harvey, but about anybody - so if you report them they are shut down.
"By using this track a troll petition that I want to do you have to have ID and if you're under 18 the ID of a parent or guardian.
"So if you do troll or say things that you know you shouldn't be saying you can easily be tracked.
"People have to remember that what you write can affect someone. People who have been committing suicide... it's been a hell of a lot more this past lockdown and I don't understand why these social medias don't [enforce identification]," Katie explained.
"I know we're all matter of fact in what we say and I know we all like to have a joke and unfortunately with these [anonymous] sites people like it because they are retweeted and they get more followers but if they really look at it, the amount of deaths and mental health issues caused by it - is it really necessary to make these comments? These comments are harsh. They are racial, there are death threats and all sorts of things. If people want to argue it's acceptable and say 'You don't need ID for that' then something has to be done. It's a no brainer," said Katie.
Victoria Derbyshire noted there has been a mixed reaction to the track a troll petition as some people were wary about using their real names on social media over legitimate concerns.
Katie responded: "When we say ID I could be called Princess Price on something when my name is Katie Price - it's just a way of contact so you can be contacted.
"As long as you can be tracked. And if people don't want to do that then they could be guilty of something."
Tory MP Andrew Griffith joined Katie on the call and said he was backing the campaign.
"Freedom of speech is incredibly important it's one of our human rights, but freedom of speech behind a cloak of anonymity doesn't apply to any other platform," said Mr Griffith.
The politician argued that people should be held accountable for their comments if they break the law on social media just as they would be in the real world.
"We all know when we are pushing the line," said Katie.
"I would say now some of the abuse Harvey gets but it's so horrific to say I can't," said Katie.
Katie said if she verbally said the words to someone she'd be arrested for being racist.
The My Crazy Life star then advised anyone being trolled to document and build up as much evidence as possible and then go to the police.
Mr Griffith said after Katie's petition reached over 100,000 signatures the government would debate the subject in parliament.
He also claimed that a bill on ;online harms' had always been brought forward following Katie's action.
