Prince Harry and Meghan Markle slam Mark Zuckerberg, say “destroying democracy” with changes at Facebook and Instagram

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have condemned Meta’s dramatic rollback of its fact-checking program and content moderation rules, joining a growing chorus of public figures warning about the impact on online safety and democracy.

In a statement released online, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex criticized Meta’s decision to end its third-party fact-checking program and loosen content moderation rules, arguing these changes “directly undermine free speech” despite the company’s claims to the contrary.
