PBS Joins NPR in Quitting Twitter Over State-Backed Designation – Bloomberg:

The Public Broadcasting Service has followed National Public Radio in quitting Twitter after the social media network labeled both organizations as government-backed media.

“PBS stopped tweeting from our account when we learned of the change and we have no plans to resume at this time,” PBS spokesman Jason Phelps said in an email. “We are continuing to monitor the ever-changing situation closely.”

All of the PBS/NPR family should share an ActivePub service for free press.
