Meta and Pinterest make secret donation to Molly Russell charity


Meta and Pinterest have agreed to donate to a charity set up in the name of schoolgirl Molly Russell.

In a statement via their solicitor, the family said that they would "pursue the aims we share with Meta and Pinterest through the Molly Rose Foundation to help ensure young people have a positive experience online". In March this year, in association with publisher Pan Macmillan, the charity sent a copy of a book written by Facebook whistleblower Sarah Wynn-Williams to every MP in the country. In January Mr Russell wrote to Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, calling on the government to act urgently to protect young people online.
