- Meta and Pinterest have reportedly made undisclosed donations to the Molly Rose Foundation, a charity set up in memory of 14-year-old Molly Russell, who died by suicide in 2017 after viewing harmful online content.
- The donations are expected to continue for several years, and while the Russell family hasn't directly benefited financially, they've chosen to collaborate with the tech companies through the foundation rather than pursue legal action.
- This decision comes despite previous concerns raised by the foundation about Meta's policy changes, which could increase young people's exposure to harmful content.
- The Molly Rose Foundation aims to improve online safety for young people and has been actively campaigning for stronger online safety regulations.
- Molly's father, Ian Russell, remains an unpaid trustee and continues to advocate for greater online safety measures.
