Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are slamming Meta over its fact-checking policy

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have joined the ranks of those displeased with Meta’s changes to fact-checking and have released a statement saying that

“Meta’s changes to its ‘Hateful Content Policies’ do not protect free expression but instead foster an environment where abuse and hate speech silence and threaten the voices of whole communities who make up a healthy democracy,” they wrote. Meghan rejoined Instagram a few weeks ago after deleting her social media accounts in 2018.
