The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) on Thursday issued a new social media guidance, telling its news staff to refrain from expressing their political views, supporting campaigns, and “virtue signalling” on social media.

The move came after Tim Davie, the BBC’s new boss said on Sept. 3 in his introductory speech that it was the public broadcaster’s “number one priority” to renewing its commitment to impartiality.
