Meghan Markle, Prince Harry make big announcement after major snub in US

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, through their Archewell Foundation, has made a major announcement after they were snubbed in US.

According to a report by the Daily Mail, the duke and duchess have failed to make an influential new list of the world's greatest do-gooders curated by Time Magazine.

However, Kate Middleton and Prince William did make the list.

Following this snub, Meghan and Harry shared statement on their Archewell Foundation’s website with title: “Safety by Design Wins: Accountable Tech”

They announced, “This week, The Archewell Foundation is highlighting Accountable Tech who recently published a study highlighting gaps in recent protections put in place for teens on Instagram.”

It further said, “The report focuses on inconsistencies in the application of settings for Instagram Teen accounts and “sensitive content” within Meta’s framework, including sexualized content and alcohol-related content reaching all the teen accounts used in the experiment.”

The statement continued this study highlights how important it is for platforms to allow data access for independent researchers to both assist in improving the effectiveness of safeguards and ensuring enforcement of safeguards and regulations – to the extent they exist – can be comprehensive.

“The Archewell Foundation believes the technology in our families’ lives should be safe by design. Safety by design is an approach to child online safety that prioritizes accountability, user empowerment, and transparency,” they added.

Around the world, young people, parents, and advocates are ‘building a better online world’ by pushing for tech accountability and innovation developed with safety in mind.

They vowed, “The Archewell Foundation is committed to uplifting their wins.”
