    A couple possible reasons as to why the mother ship hasn't moved to shut down this sharp, funny/sad Twitter account with their name on it that was started September 2021

    A) the CBC doesn't know it exists
    B) the CBC's actually behind this account
    C) good evening*

    *C was totally stolen from the Python fellows

    But seriously, using the CBC name and old? logo must be illegal right?

    there's also a Reuters pitchbot

    I don't think they could shut it down since it's clearly labelled as a parody account and satire is generally accepted as fair use.
