The CBC has returned to posting content on some of its Twitter accounts following a more than three-week hiatus after the platform labelled the public broadcaster’s main account as a “Government-Funded Media” outlet.

“Today, we will resume some activity on a handful of umbrella Twitter accounts, including @CBCNews, but we will significantly reduce our overall Twitter footprint and continue to assess the platform against our strategy,” said CBC News editor-in-chief Brodie Fenlon in a blog post on May 9.
