Obama warns against irresponsible social media use on BBC interview by Prince Harry
Dec 27, 2017: The ex-president was quizzed for the BBC by Prince Harry, in a rare post-presidency interview.
He warned that such actions were distorting people’s understanding of complex issues, and spreading misinformation.
“All of us in leadership have to find ways in which we can recreate a common space on the internet,” he said.
Mr Obama was quizzed by Prince Harry on BBC Radio 4’s Today programme.
Prince Harry, fifth in line to the throne, is one of several prominent figures who are guest-editing the programme over the Christmas period.
