Twitter Removes 'Government-Funded' Labels from Media Accounts, Including NPR, PBS, RT, and China
TL;DR Summary
Twitter has removed the "government-funded" or "state-affiliated" labels from the accounts of prominent news organizations, including NPR, after criticism from public broadcasters in several countries. The labels were deemed misleading and resulted in the suspension of Twitter use by some broadcasters. Twitter's removal of the labels follows its abrupt removal of verified check marks from profiles and is the latest change made under the leadership of owner Elon Musk. The page detailing Twitter's policy on media labels has also been removed.
