Now label BBC, RFE/RL & Deutsche Welle as ‘state affiliated’, Russian Foreign Ministry tells Twitter after RT targeted
Russia's Foreign Ministry has urged Twitter to label Western government-funded media outlets as ‘state-affiliated’, after the American social media giant branded similar Russian news organizations with the tag on Thursday.
RT, TASS and Sputnik were among the companies affected, with some personnel, including RT's chief editor, also singled out.
In a tweet, the ministry mentioned Deutsche Welle, BBC World News and Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL), all of which are financially backed by their respective governments.
