Elon Musk’s Twitter has labelled the BBC as “government funded media” on its official account, prompting the British Broadcaster to object.
In an article on its own website, the BBC said it “has contacted the social media giant over the designation on the @BBC account to resolve the issue as soon as possible.”
What’s to resolve? The BBC gets funding from the government via an enforced license fee which everyone who owns a TV in the UK is made to pay. If people refuse, they are hounded and threatened with fines or prison.
