The C小蓝视频 and Radio-Canada are returning to Twitter after pausing activity last month over their designation as "government-funded media" by the social media platform.
C小蓝视频 News editor-in-chief Brodie Fenlon says in a blog post that it is resuming activity on a handful of umbrella accounts but will "significantly reduce" its overall Twitter footprint.
In April, Twitter CEO Elon Musk applied tags to accounts belonging to the C小蓝视频 and other outlets, including the B小蓝视频 and National Public Radio, labelling them as "government-funded media."聽
The tags had their wording changed multiple times without warning or explanation, before ultimately disappearing.
The C小蓝视频 has said it does not meet Twitter's definition of "government-funded media" and that its editorial independence is enshrined in the Broadcasting Act.
Fenlon says the C小蓝视频 will continue to assess Twitter against its social media strategy.
