CBC

Canadian public broadcaster CBC and its French-language version Radio-Canada are quitting Twitter due to the government-funded label questioning their editorial independence. Following NPR and the BBC, CBC and Radio-Canada stated that Twitter’s “government-funded media” tag is false and deceptive as their editorial independence is protected under Canadian broadcasting law. They will pause their corporate Twitter account and all CBC and Radio-Canada news-related accounts. The broadcaster urged Canadians to follow it on other social media.
