As it says in the title, the BBC is starting its own Mastodon instance. I think the CBC (and other news networks) should do similar. Particularly with the recent passing of Bill C-18 it seems like a world where the links we share are crossposts to news organization's own content is the perfect resolution to that whole issue.

State funded is different than state controlled. BBC and CBC both have charters that focus on political and information neutrality and are meant to be backed by an oversight board to prevent any bias in reporting.
