3 weeks ago 3

David Beckham is weighing in on social media just one day after his son, Brooklyn Peltz Beckham, shared a scathing Instagram statement about the family.

During an appearance on CNBC’s Squawk Box on January 20, the 50-year-old soccer star offered a measured, yet cryptic take on social media, warning that it can be a space where “mistakes” happen.

“I have always spoken about social media and the power of social media. For the good and for the bad,” Beckham said. “The bad we’ve talked about with what kids can access these days, it can be dangerous.”

He added, “What I have found personally, especially with my kids as well, [is] use it for the right reasons. I’ve been able to use my platform and my following for UNICEF. And it has been the biggest tool to make people aware of what’s going on around the world for children.”
