According to Christian Gillinger, time and resource constraints force the channel to "opt out all the time". As an example, you are no longer on the Snapchat and Twitch services.

Since 2009, Swedish Radio has been active on Twitter, which together with Facebook was the first social media the public service company established itself on. However, for the past six years, the accounts of the various channels have been inactive, although some editors have still been present.

"Noted turbulence"

At the same time, some concerns about Twitter are mentioned.

"We have of course noted the recent turbulence around the platform and for us it is worrying, for example, that Twitter has dramatically reduced its workforce. We believe that in the long run this may affect the company's capacity to deal with, for example, fake accounts, bots and disinformation."

Public service labelling not cause

But the fact that Swedish Radio and other public service companies have received the label "Publicly funded-media" on the platform is not stated to be a reason for the decision.

"We don't think that's any oddity, based on what the definition looks like right now, it's an accurate description of how Swedish Radio is financed."
