Prince Harry said in a recent podcast interview with Dax Shepard that America’s First Amendment is “bonkers.”
Prince Harry was discussing his new role at a non-profit called the Aspen Institute with Shepard on his podcast, “Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard.” He
will serve on the “Commission on Information Disorder” and will conduct
studies with 14 other people on a panel to analyze the spread of
incorrect information throughout the country, according to The Spectator.
“As
I’ve said, the experience of today’s digital world has us inundated
with an avalanche of misinformation, affecting our ability as
individuals as well as societies to think clearly and truly understand
the world we live in,” Prince Harry
said about his new job. “It’s my belief that this is a humanitarian
issue and as such, it demands a multi-stakeholder response from advocacy
voices, members of the media, academic researchers, and both government
and civil society leaders.”
When discussing the spread of misinformation, Prince Harry expressed confusion with the First Amendment.
“I’ve got so much I want to say about the First Amendment as I sort
of understand it, but it is bonkers. I don’t want to start going down
the First Amendment route because that’s a huge subject and one which I
don’t understand because I’ve only been here a short time,” Prince Harry
said. “But, you can find a loophole in anything. You can capitalize or
exploit what’s not said rather than uphold what is said.”
Prince Harry’s comments drew rebukes by many on Twitter
