So the standoff is clearly about them wishing to have him sign an addendum to cover social media and he’s refusing to do so and rightly so.
What no doubt complicates matters is that the agreement is likely between the BBC and his limited company which means the BBC has no influence on him full stop. He is simply the “individual” provided by his company to provide services to the BBC.
Unless this article is wrong, as reported, his use of social media is restricted specifically in relation to impartiality and Tim Davie sets that out quite clearly.

It wouldn’t be the first time wording in a new contract isn’t updated just because their was a plan to do so.
