Harry and Meghan Criticize Meta's Changes

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have issued a statement criticizing Meta for its recent changes to fact-checking policies, claiming these alterations allow for increased hate speech and online abuse. Their comments, which include an appeal for safer online environments and a critique of Mark Zuckerberg's motivations, could provoke backlash from Donald Trump, who is set to take office soon. PR expert Nick Ede warns that Trump's tendency to retaliate may lead to repercussions for the Sussexes, especially given their previous conflicts with him. The couple's stance reflects their advocacy for mental health and anti-bullying, but it may escalate tensions with the incoming administration. As Trump prepares for his presidency, the couple's comments are seen as potentially incendiary, with speculation about how he might respond. Despite the risks, some believe their principled stand could ultimately be viewed positively in the context of their long-term advocacy efforts.
