Harry and Meghan call for stronger social media protections for children

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are calling for stronger protections for children from the dangers of social media, saying “enough is not being done”.
Prince Harry and Meghan are unveiling a memorial in New York City they say is dedicated to children who have died due to the harms of the internet.
“We want to make sure that things are changed so that… no more kids are lost to social media,” Prince Harry told BBC Breakfast in New York.
“Life is better off social media,” he said, adding he was “grateful” that his and Meghan’s children were still too young to be online.
“The easiest thing to say is to keep your kids away from social media. The sad reality is the kids who aren’t on social media normally get bullied at school because they can’t be part of the same conversation as everybody else,” Prince Harry told journalists at an Archwell Foundation event in New York.
