Twitter changes BBC account label to 'publicly-funded'
Twitter has changed a label on the main BBC account, saying it is "publicly-funded" instead of "government funded media", after the broadcaster objected.
On Sunday, the BBC disputed the original description, saying: "The BBC is, and always has been, independent.Speaking to BBC North America technology reporter James Clayton in San Francisco, Mr Musk noted: "I know the BBC for example's not thrilled about being labelled state-affiliated media."He said: "If we use the same words that the BBC uses to describe itself, that presumably would be OK… That seems to pass a reasonable test.
The BBC's Royal Charter says it "must be independent", particularly over "editorial and creative decisions, the times and manner in which its output and services are supplied, and in the management of its affairs".The licence fee raised £3.8bn in 2022 for the BBC, accounting for about 71% of the BBC's total income of £5.3bn - with the rest coming from its commercial and other activities like grants, royalties and rental income.
