ABSURD: Prince Harry and Meghan Markle ‘Deeply Concerned’ by Zuckerberg’s Meta Ending Its Fact-Checking Censorship, Say the Move ‘Directly Undermines Free Speech’

Not that anyone has really asked them, but the British Royal Family’s prodigal son and his American actress wife have decided that they ‘needed’ to weigh in on the important changes implemented by Mark Zuckerberg in his Meta company and the social media platforms Facebook, Instagram, and Threads.

And, boy – was it a love declaration to censorship!

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle posted on their website that they were ‘deeply concerned’ by Meta ending its third-party fact-checking and loosening content moderation, as well as switching to ‘an X-style Community Notes system where users flag content as false or misleading’.

The Telegraph reported:

“Now, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have waded into the row with a 638-word statement saying the changes to Meta policies ‘directly undermines free speech’. [They wrote:] ‘Allowing more abuse and normalizing hate speech serves to silence speech and expression, not foster it’.

In a statement on Sussex.com called ‘fact-checking Meta’, they added: ‘In an already confusing and, in many instances, intentionally disruptive information environment, Meta has shown their words and commitments have very little meaning or integrity’.”

Harry and Meghan also think that Meta’s decision serves to ‘prioritize those using the platforms to spread hate, lies and division at the expense of everyone else’.

‘Politics of one country should never determine whether freedom of expression and civil and human rights are protected in the online spaces so clearly shaping or destroying democracy.’

They wrote that Meta was ‘fully aware of their power to shape public discourse’, but it is now ‘disregarding any responsibility to ensure that power is not abused and instead allowing either ego or profit, likely both, to guide decisions that affect billions’.

“In particular, they said they were ‘alarmed by plans to abandon commitments to diversity and equity, coupled with internal policy changes that undermine protections for marginalized communities’.

The couple called on Meta to ‘reconsider and reinstate policies to protect all users’ and urged ‘leaders across industries to uphold their commitments to integrity and public safety in online spaces, and we applaud leaders who refuse to kowtow to bullying’.”

They ended their veritable ode to censorship in disguise by saying:

‘We at The Archewell Foundation remain committed to promoting accountability, safeguarding information integrity, and protecting all communities in the digital age. We hope and expect those enabling Meta’s profits, like advertisers and shareholders, to do the same.’
