The CBC has announced that it will not resume activity on Twitter at this time, despite the social media platform removing a “government-funded” label from their account that caused the CBC to stop posting on Twitter earlier this week. CBC’s director of media relations, Leon Mar, stated that the network is reviewing this development and will not take any next steps until it has done so. The Global Task Force for public media, which is chaired by CBC President Catherine Tait, has also called on Twitter to remove its “Government-funded Media” labels from several other outlets. Twitter did not provide a comment on why it removed the labels. The CBC previously announced that it would temporarily halt its activity on Twitter in response to being labelled as government-funded media, stating that the Canadian government does not control its editorial content. The Global Task Force stated that publicly funded organisations like the CBC are statutorily independent of government influence. According to its 2021-22 annual report, the CBC received over $1.2 billion in federal funding last year.
