November 11, 2021: -Prince Harry has revealed he told Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey ahead of the January 6 Capitol riot that his platform allows a coup to be staged.

A group of Donald Trump supporters stormed the Capitol building. In the weeks before the riot, she called for violence against Congress and the police on social media.

Harry criticized Twitter and Facebook for allowing misinformation to spread on their platforms, adding the scale of the problem is terrifying, and no one is safe from it. It’s ruining lives and destroying families, he said. Facebook, in the previous month, changed its corporate name to Meta.

“I learned from a very early age that the incentives of publishing are not necessarily aligned with the incentives of truth,” he said, which adds that the U.K. press conflates profit with purpose and news with entertainment.

He added that I lost my mother to this self-manufactured rabidness, and I’m determined not to lose the mother of my children to the same thing.”

Harry said his household wouldn’t be on social media “until things change,” but he believes change is possible. “We’ve been led to believe that this challenge is too big to fix or is too big to solve,” he said. “What I’ve learned over the previous months, as part of the Aspen commission, is that simply isn’t true.”

Harry said a small number of social media accounts are responsible for a vast chunk of misinformation, allowing to “create a huge amount of chaos online and disruption without any consequence whatsoever.”

He cited an independent report that found that over 70% of the hate speech about his wife Meghan can be traced to less than 50 accounts, adding that British journalists interact and amplify describing as hate and lies.

“The term ‘Megxit’ was and is a misogynistic term, and it was created by a troll, amplified by royal correspondents,” he said. “It grew and grew and grew onto mainstream media.”

On Facebook, Harry said a dozen accounts are responsible for over 65% of made-up and harmful misinformation. “Yet they’re still there,” he said.

Harry argued that people are being “enlisted” in the media and social media because they want to believe now more than ever.

The prince also aimed at YouTube, pointing to a report that found 70% of videos on the platform violated YouTube’s policies on misinformation.
