Prince Harry is arguing for a change to the digital landscape as we know it.

In an interview with Fast Company published Friday, Harry — who has long been outspoken about the negative impact of social media — said that the digital world needs "remodeling" from a humanitarian standpoint.

"We have seen time and again what happens when the real-world cost of misinformation is disregarded. There is no way to downplay this," he said, noting that the failed insurrection attempt at the U.S. Capitol earlier this month was largely organized online.

"There was a literal attack on democracy in the United States, organized on social media, which is an issue of violent extremism," Harry continued, going on to cite more examples of how misinformation on social media led to humanitarian crises, including genocide in Myanmar and destruction in the Amazon.
