The CBC’s Twitter label has been changed to show a portion of its funding is provided by the government, after the public broadcaster complained about its “government-funded media” label.

“Canadian Broadcasting Corp said they’re ‘less than 70% government-funded,’ so we corrected the label,” wrote Twitter-owner Elon Musk on the platform on April 17.
