Canada’s CBC is the latest major news org to step away from Twitter.

The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, says it’s “pausing” its use of Twitter after the platform put a “Government-funded Media” label on its main account, joining the likes of NPR and PBS.

The Elon Musk-owned service then changed the label to read “70% Government-funded Media,” before adjusting it to 69%, cementing Musk’s status as the least funny person to have ever opened a Twitter account.
