Twitter's 'State-Affiliated Media' Label Sparks Controversy for NPR.

Twitter has added a label to National Public Radio's account on the social network, designating the broadcaster "U.S. state-affiliated media." NPR denounced the move as "unacceptable," and said it had not been notified that the label would be added to its account. Twitter's guidelines define state-affiliated accounts as "outlets where the state exercises control over editorial content through financial resources, direct or indirect political pressures, and/or control over production and distribution." The move comes as Twitter has announced sweeping changes to some of its policies under the ownership of Elon Musk.
