U.S. broadcaster NPR said it will no longer post content to Twitter in protest against a label by the social media platform that implies government involvement in the its content.

BBC has released a post rejecting Twitter's new label and claims to be in talks with the Musk-owned company about the issue

Twitter BBC controversy: Twitter has labelled BBC as government-funded media. The British broadcaster is not pleased and is objecting to the tag on one of its main Twitter accounts

BBC labelled government-funded media: The label links through to a page on Twitter's help website which says "state-affiliated media accounts" are defined 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"., World News, Times Now

With BBCs Twitter handle labelled government funded media, Elon Musk has sparked a row with the broadcaster. It is not just BBC, other broadcasters including PBS, NPR has been labelled similar way which was objected by the media platforms

Right now, only the main BCC account is labelled as govt-funded media while the subsidiaries such as BBC News (World) and BBC News, BBC Sports, BBC World, and even BBC New Hindi are just mentioned as "official organisation on Twitter."

A message displayed on the Twitter handle said the account has been taken down “in response to a legal demand”.
