Prince Harry, Meghan Markle criticize Meta’s decision to end fact-checking, label it ‘deeply deceptive’
Fox News
Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, returned to social media on Jan. 1 after a five-year hiatus. She and Prince Harry launched The Parents Network through Archewell last year.
"It doesn’t matter whether your views are left, right or somewhere in between — the latest news from Meta about changes to their policies directly undermines free speech," the couple’s statement, titled "Fact-checking Meta," read. "This should deeply concern us all." "The company’s decision to rollback protections is so far away from its stated values and commitments to its users — including the parents and families calling for change around the globe — that it’s now deeply deceptive."

"Contrary to the company’s talking points, allowing more abuse and normalizing hate speech serves to silence speech and expression, not foster it," they shared. "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."
