BBC objects as Twitter labels it 'government-funded media'

The BBC has objected to Twitter classifying one of its Twitter handles as 'government-funded media'. This particular account shares updates about BBC's television programmes, radio shows and podcasts and breaking news stories.

BBC said in a statement said that it is and always has been independent of the British govt. It added that it is funded by the British public through the licence fee.

BBC said it spoke to Twitter about the label to “resolve this issue as soon as possible”.

However, other accounts of BBC, including BBC News (World) and BBC Breaking News, are not being classified in the same way.
