British Royal Family News says there aren’t a lot of people who would disagree with what Prince Harry has to say here. The Duke of Sussex recently said that social media has fueled a “crisis of hate” and that she is especially concerned about all of the online dangers now that he is a father. Here’s what you need to know.
In an essay for Fast Company, Prince Harry says that he would like to see more reform across the different social media platforms, especially since he’s seen all of the hate, scathing criticism and danger first hand. Writing on behalf of himself and Meghan Markle, Harry says he would like to see industry leaders push toward a more meaningful change.
British Royal Family News: Prince Harry Believes Social Media Is Toxic
Prince Harry said, “Our message was clear: The digital landscape is unwell and companies like yours have the chance to reconsider your role in funding and supporting online platforms that have contributed to, stoked, and created the conditions for a crisis of hate, a crisis of health, and a crisis of truth.”
The prince also added that while a lot of people love to connect on social media, it’s not the same place that it was before. In fact, he believes that it has changed in recent years and it has become an increasingly dangerous place for users.
“It’s a seemingly free resource for connecting, sharing, and organizing,” he wrote. “But it’s not actually free; the cost is high. Every time you click they learn more about you. Our information, private data, and unknown habits are traded on for advertising space and dollars.”
The Duke of Sussex also believes that all of the online hate that he has been seeing lately can be replaced with compassion and that truth can take the place of misinformation.
“This remodeling must include industry leaders from all areas drawing a line in the sand against unacceptable online practices as well as being active participants in the process of establishing new standards for our online world.
Companies that purchase online ads must also recognize that our digital world has an impact on the physical world — on our collective health, on our democracies, on the ways we think and interact with each other, on how we process and trust information,” Harry continued.
