Twitter dropped the "Government-funded Media" label from the accounts of U.S.-based National Public Radio , British Broadcasting Corp and Canadian Broadcasting Corporation . While Chinese publishers' accounts, including those of their senior staff as well as of some key government officials, started getting the label in 2020, the likes of NPR and CBC were labeled only earlier this month.
In a BBC interview last week, Twitter's billionaire owner Elon Musk said the social media platform was trying to be "accurate" and looking into amending the label.
