Other members of the commission include Nevada Attorney General Aaron Ford and former Texas Representative Will Hurd. Harry was identified as a philanthropic leader that will be joining the Commission.

In a statement to CNN Harry said that he believed online misinformation is a "humtarian issue."

"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," Harry said in a statement to the network.

"It's my belief that this is a humtarian issue," Harry continued, "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. I'm eager to join this new Aspen commission and look forward to working on a solution-oriented approach to the information disorder crisis."

CNN reported that Harry, 14 other commissioners, and three co-chairs will conduct a six-month study on the state of American misinformation and disinformation. Journalist Katie Couric, Color of Change president Rashad Robinson and Chris Krebs, the former director of the US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, are the co-chairs.
