Twitter faces backlash for labeling NPR as 'state-affiliated media'
TL;DR Summary
Twitter labeled the account of National Public Radio (NPR) as US state-affiliated media, drawing criticism from the news organization’s leadership. The change to NPR’s designation appears to be in violation of Twitter’s own original policy on how the social media platform determines which companies receive this label. NPR’s CEO and president called the move by Twitter “unacceptable”. This is the second spat between Twitter and a major American news outlet in just a week.
