Prince Harry thanks bereaved families taking on social media firms
"I've been in some similar situations myself - vastly different - but when you're sitting in court and if you have that feeling of just overwhelming emotion, because you can't believe that the people on the other side are saying what they're saying - that by the very nature of defending what they're defending, the lies that they are stating, is devaluing life, is devaluing your children's lives - if that brings stuff up for you, it is totally normal,"
"We've said time and time again that this is a David versus Goliath situation,"
"Thank you for doing everything that you've done. Thank you for telling your stories over and over again. Truth, justice and accountability: those are the three things that will come from this."
"We can't make a difference for our children, but we can make a difference for other people's children,"
Prince Harry thanked bereaved families pursuing a legal challenge against Instagram and YouTube over alleged harms to young people's mental health. The trial in California will examine whether the platforms are addictive by design. Families allege addiction and harm; lawyers for YouTube and Meta deny the allegations. Harry expressed hope for truth, justice and accountability and acknowledged the overwhelming emotions families feel in court. He warned that defendants' denials can feel like devaluing children's lives. About fifty bereaved parents attended a gathering after court. One parent said they cannot change outcomes for their own children but can protect other children.
