New Delhi: Twitter has withdrawn the ‘state-affiliated media’ label given to US radio network NPR (National Public Radio) after the uproar. He has now described radio as government funded.
This also applies to BBC
Elon Musk’s social media network has also applied that new label to the BBC, which is mainly funded by British families paying license fees.
Derogatory term
In fact, if reports are to be believed, the UK national broadcaster had sought clarification from Twitter. At the same time, it was revealed after the network complained that the term state-affiliated was derogatory and incorrect. On this, Twitter secretly changed on Saturday night.
More than 88 lakh followers
Significantly, NPR stopped tweeting in protest. He wrote in his Twitter bio that more than 88 lakh people are following NPR. You all can find us on other platforms. NPR CEO John Lansing called Twitter’s decision unacceptable.
