CBS announced they were pausing its Twitter activity out of “an abundance of caution”. Apparently, CBS Sports wasn’t included in this decision.

As of Saturday afternoon, CBS Sports is still Tweeting College football updates, it appears that only CBS news is stepping away from Twitter, at least temporarily.

Below is a clip they shared from the Georgia vs Kentucky game:

BNO shared a clip from CBS News confirming that would no longer be posting updates on Twitter.

Twitter is well known for being a go-to source for news, as TMZ put it “not just for users, but for news organizations themselves.” Twitter is a platform where news can travel fast, and it does. It seems CBS News is trying to make a statement. We will see how long they stay away from sharing news on Twitter.

CBS Sports will continue to share content at least for now. It is unclear which affiliated Twitter accounts will be included in pausing content for the foreseeable future.

Viva Frei shared, “Not only is @elonmusk trying to revive free speech on Twitter, but he’s also successfully killing fake news on Twitter! @CBSNews, good riddance to bad rubbish!”

Johnathan Turley shared,”BS suspends Twitter use over the “uncertainty” of censorship policies. https://foxnews.com/media/triggered-musk-cbs-news-announces-suspending-all-twitter-activity-abundance-caution… Free speech is certainly a scary thought for those who have counted on being protected from opposing views. However, this is a journalistic organization…”

We will see how long they hold out.
