Twitter labels BBC as “government-funded media”
Twitter has labeled the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), which is funded predominantly by British households paying a license fee, as “government-funded media”. While the @BBC account, which has 2.2m followers, has been given the label, much larger accounts associated with the BBC’s news and sport output are not currently being described in the same way.
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”.

The British national broadcaster objected to the new label and said it is speaking to the social media company about the designation on the @BBC account to “resolve this issue as soon as possible”.
