Twitter dropped the “Government-funded Media” tag, which implies government involvement in editorial content, on some accounts like National Public Radio (NPR) and Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC), their accounts showed on Friday.

Earlier this month, NPR and CBC paused their activities on the social media platform, arguing that the tag did not accurately capture their governance structure.
In an interview with BBC last week, Twitter’s billionaire owner Elon Musk said the company was trying to be “accurate” and looking into amending the label.
