    That’s a little bit sad as it was a reverse blue checkmark: you see the tag and you know that the posts are gonna be mostly fire

      His praxis is being such an obnoxious capitalist that people can’t help but want to overthrow the bourgeoisie.

    You’re telling me that Chen isn’t a diplomat?

      i don’t see any labels for NPR, BBC, CBC, or RT. maybe all the “state-affiliated media” tags were removed?

      edit: nevermind looks like Xinhua has it

        Maybe that was while the change rollout was in progress? XHNews doesn’t have the label for me now, nor does any other account I just checked (including accounts from several different countries which did have it recently).

        Somehow I doubt this will convince NPR and PBS to come back anytime soon.

          interesting, and i think you’re right, i just checked, restarted app with IOS/ipad and it still shows “china state-affiliated media”… but my web browser does not show it

            I presume the mobile app and web frontend are 2 separate repos. Considering Twitter is running off the backs of a handful overworked and burnt out H-1B workers, I’m not surprised that they’re having trouble rolling out changes.

      i’ve seen people saying that it’s to “re-evaluate” the label system or something so you can probably expect them to come back soon (with all the US state media unlabeled, naturally)
