They're doing it right out in the open

    I have no clue on what their editorial line is, I just remembered the case from back when Twitter started implementing these tags.

    It very well could be that their general line could seem as supporting Russia’s interests or whatever and that is what triggered Twitter, but that doesn’t make one a state affiliated media like RT either.

    And apparently it seems Twitter didn’t even feel the need to respond to their appeals or care even to explain why they were labeled like that in the first place.

      Oh sorry, it does look like I'm implicitly supporting twitter marking them with a Scarlet Letter, so let me clarify that I don't support that.

      I just did some quick research into the journal and saw that they've been accused of being "nationalist progressives" eg populist nonsense, but I don't speak French so I was hoping someone might have more insight than a 5 minute Duckduckgo.
