British Royal Family News says that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are ghosting Facebook, just like the rest of the world seems to be doing right now. That’s because the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are throwing their weight and support behind the Stop Hate for Profit campaign. The new movement calls for a worldwide boycott of Facebook advertising over the company’s lack of vetting hateful and misleading content on its site. Here’s what you need to know.
“As we’ve been developing Archewell, one of the areas The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been keen to address is online hate speech, and we’ve been working with civil rights and racial justice groups on it,” said a source close to Markle and Harry. “Over the past few weeks, in particular, this issue has become even more vital and they have been working to encourage global CEOs to stand in solidarity with a coalition of civil and racial justice groups like the NAACP, Color of Change, and the Anti-Defamation League, which are calling for structural changes to our online world.”

An insider added that the two are “working on how to move the tech industry in a more humane direction” as part of their pro-mental health stance, calling it “a key focus of a visit they convened at Stanford University back in February” and “also fundamentally connected to what they are building into their new organization Archewell.”
If that weren’t enough, president and CEO of the NAACP, Derrick Johnson, also thanked the Duke and Duchess of Sussex for their support of the cause. “Thank you for emboding [sic] the kind of leadership that meets the moment,” Johnson tweeted, adding, “The @NAACP deeply value your unwavering support to #StopHateForProfit.”
