Twitter's been fairly open about their decisionmaking process here, so we know that's not the relevant factor - they say they don't label BBC because it has editorial independence.


Twitter is wrong then. They used to have editorial independence before the Hutton enquiry.

Any editorial independence they have now is purely nominal.


And this is the issue with social media being able to moderate and curate content as they choose.

Makes me wonder about Mccain and the CDA.


Sounds hand-wavy. How is editorial independence measured?


I agree with your skepticism of the objectivity here. Twitter says only that they "consulted with a number of expert groups": https://blog.twitter.com/en_us/topics/product/2020/new-label...
