Many high-profile Twitter media accounts have lost their labels describing their affiliations or funding models, following major changes on the social media platform.

On Friday, several media outlets that previously had tags such as "government funded" no longer displayed them.

The BBC, Russia's RT and NPR in the US are among the accounts affected. It follows a row between Twitter and several media outlets over how their accounts are described.

A number of news organisations, including US public broadcaster NPR and Canada's CBC, have suspended activity on Twitter after they were recently given "government funded" labels. They said the description was inaccurate and undermined their credibility as independent news organisations.

The BBC also complained last week after it was given a "government funded" instead of "publicly funded" media label.

But on Friday the "publicly funded" label also disappeared from the BBC's Twitter profile. And labels indicating the origins of the funding behind major organisations like China's official Xinhua news agency or RT from Russia have also been removed.

They were originally introduced to highlight which accounts were linked to state media or government officials, especially from China and Russia.Other changes have taken place on the social media platform overnight.

While Twitter have dropped blue marks from ‘legacy’ verified accounts, there is a new colour scheme to their verification system, so what do they mean?

Blue: The traditional mark of verification now means the account is subscripted to Twitter Blue (from $8 a month) and completed some verification steps such as having a mobile phone linked to the account.It must also be older than 30 days and have no recent changes to name or handle.

Gold: These marks are reserved for organisations and businesses who pay $1,000 a month plus additional fees for subsequent accounts.

Grey: Is the mark of an official government account, such as a national agency or a head of state.
