Prince Harry follows suit when he talks about young children “getting into trouble.”
The Duke of Sussex looked back on his notorious past while speaking at an event in New York yesterday for The Halo Trust.
Sharing his concerns about young children and their online presence, the Duke said: “Some say children will be children and, well, that may be true. Children can get into trouble.
“I know a thing or two about that, but our kids are in the crosshairs. The harmful effects of social media are by design.”
He continued: “These platforms are designed to create addiction.
“Young people are kept there by mindless, endless, mind-numbing scrolling, and forced to watch content that no child should ever be exposed to.
“I, like many of you, didn't grow up with a phone. Young people today have an incredible understanding of technology that older generations may have struggled to comprehend.”
Harry continued: “Our laws and regulations are different from state to state and country to country.
“We may have different backgrounds, views, beliefs and even access to the Internet, but the one thing we can universally agree on is the safety of our children.
“So why do the leaders of these incredibly powerful social media companies still refuse to change? Why are we holding them to the lowest ethical standards?” Harry asked.
