Twitter Faces Backlash Over Mislabeling Media Outlets.

Twitter faced backlash after labeling NPR's account as "state-affiliated media," leading the news organization to halt its posts on the platform. Twitter has since replaced the label with "government funded." NPR's CEO called the label "unacceptable," as less than 1% of its annual operating budget comes from grants from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and federal entities. Twitter CEO Elon Musk acknowledged that the "state-affiliated media" label might not have been accurate and suggested using the "government funded" label instead. The label has also been applied to PBS.
