So, wait...is the BBC no longer allowed to advertise upcoming shows on Twitter?

  They might not be able to pay for ads, but they could still use their Twitter accounts: >Any affected accounts will be free to continue to use Twitter to engage in public conversation, just not our advertising products.

  I was confused about this part too, but that link does have this: > This policy will not apply to taxpayer-funded entities, including independent public broadcasters. Britain's BBC, Canada's CBC, and the US PBS should be covered by that. Actually, what's to stop China from making their news agency tax-payer funded to take advantage of this exception?

    How about state media that is already taxpayer-funded? Do they really get an exception here?
    • tareqak 7y ago
      The quote in my comment has "independent public broadcasters". I think they will depend on third parties in order to make that determination.

        That was my assumption as well. I can't imagine they'd put the North Korean state broadcasters on the same level as BBC or CBC.
