Prince Harry Reacts to Meta Settlement: “Change Cannot Wait” - Town & Country Magazine

Prince Harry is praising a federal judge’s decision ordering Meta to pay a fine of $567 million for failing to warn the public about the dangers its platforms pose to children.“For years we’ve argued that big tech’s harm to children was a choice, not some inevitable side effect,” Prince Harry says in a statement shared with Town Country. “This is not an accident. It is not a glitch. What we’ve seen in the last 24 hours is what accountability looks like. This is what happens when the law finally catches up to decisions made in boardrooms, product meetings, and algorithm reviews — decisions that put social media engagement ahead of safety. The bar has moved, and every platform still choosing engagement over safety should take notice. Change cannot wait another day.”A Meta spokesman has said they plan to appeal the decision.
