Public broadcasters ranging from US-based National Public Radio to Canadian Broadcasting Corp have stopped posting on Twitter in recent days after the Elon Musk-owned social media platform labelled their accounts as “government-funded”.

The broadcasters have said the label does not accurately capture their governance structure as there is a clear difference between those that receive public funding but are editorially independent, and those that are run by governments, a Reuters report stated.

Musk, meanwhile, has said Twitter’s goal is to be as “truthful and accurate as possible”.

Here is a list of the broadcasters and other media outlets that have stopped using Twitter:

National Public Radio (NPR): NPR said last week it would no longer post fresh content to its 52 official Twitter feeds in protest against a label by the social media platform that implies government involvement in its editorial content.

Canadian Broadcasting Corporation: CBC said on Monday it would pause its use of Twitter after the platform labeled it as  “69% government-funded media”. The Twitter label on the CBC account previously showed “70% government-funded media”, but was changed to the current one after the CBC asked Twitter to re-examine the designation.

Public Broadcasting Service: PBS, which has around 2.2 million followers on Twitter, halted publishing on Twitter after it was labelled as “government-funded media”, according to media reports.

Hawaii Public Radio: Hawaii Public Radio, a member station of NPR, said it would stop sharing its content on Twitter after the micro-blogging site labeled NPR’s Twitter handle as “government-funded media”. NPR’s member stations pay the broadcaster a membership fee to use its programming and content.

LAist: A Los Angeles-based news outlet, LAist said it would no longer post on its Twitter accounts in support of NPR.

Twitter To Restrict Tweets’ Visibility: Meanwhile, Twitter will allow freedom of speech but not “freedom of reach” since it will limit the appearance of tweets that break its rules, according to a policy update, a PTI report explained.

Twitter will initially apply the visibility filter to tweets judged to violate hostile conduct guidelines before expanding it to other domains.

According to the PTI news report, Twitter said, “We also believe it is our responsibility to protect our platform’s users from content that violates our rules.

“These ideas are the cornerstone of free speech, not free reach — our enforcement philosophy, which entails, where appropriate, limiting the reach of tweets that violate our policies by making the content less discoverable”.

The sample screenshot provided an example of tweet visibility limitation that may violate Twitter’s rule against hateful behaviour. The company stated it will not display advertising next to content labelled under the new guideline.

“Starting soon, we will add publicly visible labels to tweets identified as potentially violating our policies, letting you know we’ve limited their visibility,” said the microblogging platform.

According to Twitter, authors will be able to provide feedback on the label if they believe “we incorrectly limited their tweet’s visibility”.
