Prince Harry and Meghan Markle want social media companies to tighten content moderation and safety, especially for apps that can harm youth mental health. At a New York City mental health festival, the couple joined a Project Healthy Minds panel. It was an Archewell Foundation event.

This followed sad anecdotes from parents who lost children to social media-related mental health issues. The foundation has fostered a supportive environment for these parents and promoted turning suffering into purpose.

Meghan and Harry have been meeting with tech CEOs who have promised to enhance social media safety and positivity. Meghan noted that online damages to children are causing suicides.

Prince William and Kate in the UK launched a mental health campaign for youth, calling on society to act. New York Surgeon General Vivek Murthy called the pressure on parents and adolescents to deal with continuously changing technology a "mental health crisis."

Prince Harry directly urged social media companies to protect youngsters. This follows the couple's public appearance after increasing their foundation's philanthropic activism for key topics. They visited the Brooklyn-based Marcy Lab School for technology-driven purposeful careers earlier in the day. Using their position to promote these causes shows their dedication.
