The move came after the Global Task Force for public media called on Twitter earlier in the day to correct its description of public broadcasters in Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South Korea.

“Labelling them in this way misleads audiences about their operational and editorial independence from government,” the task force said Thursday in a release.
