Canadian Broadcasting Corporation joins list of news outlets dumping Twitter.

The article discusses the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's (CBC) decision to pause its use of Twitter after the platform labeled it as "government-funded media," a designation the CBC argues misrepresents its editorial independence. This move follows similar actions by National Public Radio (NPR) and the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS), who also objected to the label. CBC spokesperson Leon Mar emphasized that the label undermines the professionalism of their journalism. The article also notes that Elon Musk, the owner of Twitter, responded to CBC's decision by adjusting the label from "70% Government-funded Media" to "69%." Other media outlets, including Australia's ABC News and New Zealand's RNZ, have faced similar labeling issues. [Extracted from the article]
