Public TV broadcaster PBS also said it has suspended tweets since Saturday for the same reason — but unlike NPR, the organization left the door open to return at some point. At least three public radio stations have also left the platform in reaction to the labeling controversy.
PBS stopped tweeting from its main account, @PBS, which has 2.2 million followers, after the new label was applied last weekend. It said at the time that its editorial independence “is central to our work, and will never change. … Twitter’s simplistic label leaves the inaccurate impression that PBS is wholly funded by the federal government.
Fox News suspended its Twitter activity for 18 months in 2018 after protesters tweeted host Tucker Carlson’s home address, but it resumed in 2020.and began undoing years worth of security and anti-hate policies. Twitter has also recently placed the “government-funded” label on other news outlets that receive some public support, such as PBS, BBC and Voice of America. The BBC has also objected but continues to tweet.

NPR quits Elon Musk's Twitter over 'government-funded' labelNational Public Radio is quitting Twitter over the social media company’s recent actions under owner Elon Musk to stamp it with labels the news organization says are meant to undermine its credibility. NPR said its organizational accounts will no longer be active on Twitter because the platform is undermining its credibility by falsely implying that it is not editorially independent. Last week, Twitter labeled NPR as “state-affiliated media” on the social media site, a label also used for state-controlled media outlets in authoritarian regimes. Twitter later changed the label to “Government-funded media” and gave it to some other public news organizations, such as the BBC.
