Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have released a big statement, criticizing a social media company over changes to their policies directly undermines free speech.
The California-based royal couple shared the statement on their website.
The statement reads, “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.”
They further said, “This should deeply concern us all.”
Meghan and Harry went on saying, “Contrary to the company’s talking points, allowing more abuse and normalizing hate speech serves to silence speech and expression, not foster it.”
Raising their concerns, Archie and Lilibet doting parents said, “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.”
“We are particularly alarmed by plans to abandon commitments to diversity and equity, coupled with internal policy changes that undermine protections for marginalized communities,” they added.
