in Austin on Friday, recalling the hate she received from commenters online particularly while she was pregnant with her two children.
“This is being streamed on one of those platforms, people are going to have access to all of this brilliance and insight,” Markle said, appearing to refer to YouTube, which livestreamed the talk. She added, “At the same time it’s a platform that has quite a bit of hate and rhetoric and incentivizes people to create pages where they can churn out very inciting comments and conspiracy theories that can have a tremendously negative affect on somebody’s mental health, their physical safety.
Shields and Couric affirmed Markle’s comments, with Shields highlighting a need for change for young women online. “Social media was not around when all the vitriol was being hurled at me and my mother. Had their been social media, it might’ve just disintegrated me,” Shields said. “We have to make sure we look right behind us and bring up these young women who want to cancel out that messaging and only go toward the positive. There’s no function in the negativity.
