Twitter drops "government funded" label today

[TheButcher]

Not sure if this is a good policy change, why not disclose which accounts/sites are funded by a government, not that it is hard to guess, nearly all MSM sites are in part or whole funded by their respective governments.


'Many high-profile Twitter media accounts have lost their labels describing their affiliations or funding models, following major changes on the social media platform.

On Friday, several media outlets that previously had tags such as "government funded" no longer displayed them.

The BBC, Russia's RT and NPR in the US are among the accounts affected.

It follows a row between Twitter and several media outlets over how their accounts are described."
