NET IS SEWER, WARNS FERGIE

SARAH Ferguson branded social media a “sewer line” as she backed a campaign encouraging people to be kinder online.

The Duchess of York wrote an open letter about the good and bad impact of apps including Twitter, Instagram and Facebook.

She said: “In so many ways, the internet has been a force for good.

“It enables us to keep in touch with friends and family all across the world.”

But it also has its downsides, she said. Fergie added: “We need to pay more attention than ever to what we’re all being exposed to online.

“It’s time to confront head-on the fact that much of social media has become a sewer.

“There’s a large minority who seem to think that all the normal rules of society don’t apply to the internet.”

The #HelloToKindness campaign has the support of MPs and celebrities. ON ATTACK: Sarah
