SAN FRANCISCO - American broadcaster Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) has followed the National Public Radio (NPR) in quitting Twitter after the social media network labelled both organisations as government-backed media.
......
NPR’s departure came hours after Mr Musk indicated in a BBC interview on Tuesday that the label decision was a mistake and that he would consider changing it to “publicly funded”.
