(ANSA) - ROME, JANUARY 23 - "Disinformation" on social media is a threat to democracy.

This was claimed by Prince Harry who, in an interview with the Fast Company website, accused the platforms of "shirking their responsibilities".


    "There has literally been an attack on democracy on the United States organized on social media and it is a matter of violent extremism," said the Duke of Sussex who also recalled the online harassment of him and Meghan Markle.


    "I was really surprised to see how my story was told one way, my wife's story another. And our relationship another way. That false narrative became the mother of all harassment. It wouldn't even start if it did. our story had been truthfully told, "said the prince, who almost a year ago gave up his role in the British royal family and moved to Los Angeles with his wife and son.


    "We all know what happens when the true price of misinformation is ignored. I don't understand how social platforms can make a profit without assuming their responsibilities," Harry concluded. (HANDLE).
