RE:WIRED 2021: Prince Harry on 'Warning' Jack Dorsey Before the Capitol Riots

And on Facebook itself,
a dozen accounts are responsible for over 65%,
I think it is, a totally made up and harmful
COVID misinformation, which can reach
into the billions of people.
And yet they're still there.
And for climate denials, a report just last week, I think,
basically estimated that another 69%
noticed the similarities, between 69, 70, 75%.
So the vast majority of information
was driven by just 10 accounts in the U.S. and Russia alone.
And then let's not, let's not leave out YouTube.
YouTube in one report alone, more than I think 70%
of videos were in violation of YouTube's own policies
on misinformation.
And worse, they came to the users
via the recommendation tool within YouTube's
own algorithm versus anything that the user
was actually searching for.
So right here, what I've just said
is just how a few can have a devastating impact
on the masses, if not dealt with responsibly.
And it shows really that it can be stopped.
But ultimately they don't want to stop it
because it affects their bottom line.
Have you ever had a chance to present your case
to the leaders of these companies?
Mark Zuckerberg, Jack Dorsey?
No, not directly, not personally.
Jack and I were emailing each other
prior to January the sixth.
I warned him that his platform
was allowing a coup to be staged.
That email was sent the day before
and then it happened and I haven't heard from him since.
