'After a public dispute with NPR, which Twitter falsely labeled state-affiliated media, the platform last week removed all labels that had identified state-owned media, including those controlled by authoritarian states like Russia, China and Iran.'

This is now beyond parody, the implications for this sort of thing can be serious, surely someone is capable of doing some basic research and identifying if a media outlet is stateowned or not, e.gl the actual website, cross reference this with information from any regulatory bodies (ofcom inthe UK I guess) and people such as amnesty international.
It is hardly as if we are asking them to do or explain something complicated.
Someone at twitter needs to get a grip, Musk is clearly beyond useless, he cares for nothing.
