The Prince also revealed how he plans to "use his clout" do to address the problem, which he referred to as "a humanitarian issue" requiring a "humanitarian response". In a 2020 essay[4], Prince Harry called on business leaders "to rethink their role in funding the advertising system that underlies the misinformation and divisive rhetoric that’s often shared on social platforms."
“This remodeling must include industry leaders from all areas drawing a line in the sand against unacceptable online practices as well as being active participants in the process of establishing new standards for our online world,” he wrote. "We are losing loved ones to conspiracy theories, losing a sense of self because of the barrage of mistruths, and at the largest scale, losing our democracies."
In October 2018, Harry and his wife Meghan Markle founded Archewell Inc., an American public organization that focuses on non-profit activities and creative media ventures.
