Prince Harry calls for greater online safety for children at EU Parliament
Prince Harry has urged greater online safety for children as he addressed the European Parliament in Belgium.
The Duke of Sussex spoke in Brussels about social media platforms, saying they should be “safety by design” after the opening of the Lost Screen Memorial. This art installation will honour children who died following online harm.
During the speech, Prince Harry made it clear that “we can no longer trust or believe the companies” and that there is a need to learn from challenges with social media, to fight the battle with AI.
