Prince Harry has penned an essay for Fast Company about the concerns he and Meghan Markle share about social media’s damage on young people today, including his son, and called for sweeping change.
哈里王子為《Fast Company》(商業(yè)雜志)撰寫了一篇文章,表達了他和梅根·馬克爾對現(xiàn)在社交媒體對年輕人造成不良影響的擔憂,也包括對他兒子的影響,并且號召進行徹底改變。
The Duke of Sussex, 35, wrote that after speaking with experts, he and Markle, 39, believe society has to rethink the way social media is used in order to create a space with less hate and more love.
35歲的薩塞克斯公爵寫道,他和39歲的馬克爾(梅根·馬克爾)請教了專家,他們認為全社會需要重新審視社交媒體的使用方式,從而創(chuàng)造一個少恨多愛的網(wǎng)絡(luò)空間。
“We believe we have to remodel the architecture of our online community in a way defined more by compassion than hate; by truth instead of misinformation; by equity and inclusiveness instead of injustice and fearmongering; by free, rather than weaponised, speech,” he said in the essay.
他在文章中說:“我們認為我們需要重塑網(wǎng)絡(luò)社區(qū),要同情,不要仇恨;要事實,不要傳謠;要公平包容,不要不公和制造恐慌;要自由的言論,不要攻擊性言論?!?/div>
Calling on social media industry leaders for their help, he expressed concern for his and Markle’s 1-year-old son, Archie, writing: “Because, if we are susceptible to the coercive forces in digital spaces, then we have to ask ourselves—what does this mean for our children? As a father, this is especially concerning to me.”
他號召社交媒體行業(yè)領(lǐng)袖們行動起來。他表示自己很擔心馬克爾年僅1歲的兒子阿爾奇,他寫道:“因為,如果我們?nèi)菀资艿綌?shù)字空間的脅迫,那我們就需要問問自己,這對我們的孩子意味著什么?作為一個父親,我對此尤為擔心?!?/div>
He stressed that leaders should act now, writing: “For companies that purchase online ads, it is one thing to unequivocally disavow hate and racism, white nationalism and anti-Semitism, dangerous misinformation, and a well-established online culture that promotes violence and bigotry. It is another thing for them to use their leverage, including through their advertising dollars, to demand change from the very places that give a safe haven and vehicle of propagation to hate and division.”
他強調(diào)說社交媒體領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者應(yīng)該立刻采取行動,他寫道:“對于購買網(wǎng)絡(luò)廣告的公司,一方面要明確拒絕仇恨和種族主義、白人民族主義和反猶太主義、危險的錯誤言論,堅決杜絕傳播暴力、偏執(zhí)的網(wǎng)絡(luò)不良文化發(fā)酵。另一方面要利用他們的影響力(包括他們付的廣告費),讓網(wǎng)絡(luò)不再是仇恨和社會分裂的手段和避風港?!?/div>
