TL;DR Summary

The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) has announced it will pause its activities on Twitter after the social media platform labeled its account as "government-funded," which CBC says undermines its editorial independence. CBC joins other US-based media outlets, such as PBS and NPR, in quitting Twitter after Elon Musk's platform added "government-funded" and "state-affiliated media" labels to their accounts. Twitter has since dropped the "state-affiliated" label and changed it to "government-funded" after receiving widespread pushback.
