Prince Harry has expressed support for bereaved families pursuing legal action against major social media companies, while a UK court has ruled a ban on a pro-Palestinian group unlawful. In other news, a logistics giant has replaced its chief executive following scrutiny over ties to Jeffrey Epstein, and new details have emerged about Epstein's activities.
The Duke of Sussex, Prince Harry, offered words of encouragement to families involved in a legal challenge against Instagram and YouTube, according to BBC Technology. The families are alleging that the platforms are designed to be addictive. Prince Harry, in an emotional address, thanked the families for "telling your stories over and over again," as reported by BBC Technology.
Meanwhile, in London, the High Court declared the UK government's ban on the pro-Palestinian campaign group, Palestine Action, unlawful, as reported by Al Jazeera. The ban, implemented last year, had designated the group as a terrorist organization. The ruling was celebrated by human rights groups.
In a separate development, DP World, a United Arab Emirates-based logistics company, has appointed a new chairman and CEO. This change came after pressure regarding former chief Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem's connections to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, according to Al Jazeera.
Adding to the Epstein-related news, Sky News reported on an email exchange from 2014, revealing that Epstein requested a staff member to install hidden video cameras at his Florida home. The aide planned to conceal the cameras in tissue boxes. These emails were part of millions of documents released by the US Department of Justice last month, according to Sky News.
