National Public Radio will no longer use Twitter after it was labeled as “government funded media” by the social media platform.

NPR President John Lansing said in a staff memo Wednesday that Twitter “is taking actions that undermine our credibility by falsely implying that we are not editorially independent.”

“We are not putting our journalism on platforms that have demonstrated an interest in undermining our credibility and the public’s understanding of our editorial independence,” Mr. Lansing wrote.

NPR’s top executive also said Twitter’s actions are harmful and “set a dangerous precedent.”

Twitter originally slapped NPR with a “U.S. state affiliated media” label last week, putting the news outlet in the same category as media organizations in Russia and China that act as mouthpieces for their authoritarian governments.

Twitter’s outspoken owner Elon Musk approved the new designation in a tweet of his own on April 5.
