MEGHAN Markle has criticized social media as an addiction and obsession while criticizing online abuse.
The Duchess of Sussex compared those on social media to drug addicts during a 15-minute speech at an online conference that cost a whopping $ 1,750 (£ 1,342) per ticket for guests to log in.

Meghan, 39, said: “For my own preservation, I have not been on social media for a long time. I had a personal account I closed years ago.
“Then we had one through the institution in our office in the UK. We didn’t handle that, it was a complete team.
“That comes with the territory for work, I’ve made a personal decision not to have any accounts, so I don’t know what’s out there and in many ways that helps me.
“I have many concerns for people who have become obsessed with it and such an important part of our daily culture for so many people that it is an addiction, like many other things in this world.

“People addicted to drugs are users and people who are on social networks are called users.
“And there’s something in there that algorithmically creates this obsession that I think is very unhealthy for people.”
In a blue and white dress and her hair tied back, Meg said, “If you disagree with [something], don’t be part of the problem, be part of the solution.
“Don’t do it, don’t do it, share something on the right side of the problem to make that go viral.”
On the topic of “amplifying only the positive,” he added: “You don’t reward bad behavior with your dog, so you shouldn’t do it with anything else.”

Meghan recommended remembering the phrase “My faith is greater than my fear” when taking action.
She also said that becoming a mother made her “more concerned about the future of the world”, thinking about “how can I improve this” for her son Archie.
And he talked about how he “found the courage” to move to California, admitting, “It’s not easy.”
She was questioned during a 15-minute web interview screened online for Fortune’s Most Powerful Women Next Generation Virtual Summit.
The online chat comes three weeks after a previous ‘Next Gen’ summit when she denied being “inflammatory.”
Last night’s webinar was billed as ‘One on One: Courageous Leadership’, featuring Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex.
The chat announcing Meg’s talk last night read: “How do you lead with your values? Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, shares how she has learned to, in her words, pursue her convictions with action.
Last week, Meghan and Harry spoke with 23-year-old Nobel laureate Malala Yousefzai, who was shot by the Taliban and left for dead for wanting to go to school.
