Twitter: BBC objects to 'government funded media' label
The BBC is objecting to a new label describing it as "government funded media" on its main Twitter account.
The corporation has contacted the social media giant over the designation on the @BBC account to resolve the issue "as soon as possible".
"The BBC is, and always has been, independent. We are funded by the British public through the licence fee," it said.
Elon Musk said he believed the BBC was one of the "least biased" outlets.
When BBC News highlighted to the Twitter boss that the corporation was licence fee-funded, Mr Musk responded in an email, asking: "Is the Twitter label accurate?"
