- A hatched block means the outlet is affiliated with, or controlled by, a state.
Political lean describes where an outlet sits within the politics of its own country. It is never a position on a single global scale.
Political lean is comparable inside one country and not across them, which is why the bar groups by country first. Publicly funded broadcasters are not marked as state-linked.
The owner of each outlet is listed as a matter of record, not as a judgement about the outlet.
The European Commission is set to propose new regulations restricting social media access for children under 15 years old. According to reports, President Ursula von der Leyen will introduce a plan that requires parental authorization for access. The proposed framework includes a total restriction for children aged 0 to 3, strict parental control until age 13, and more flexible parental oversight until age 15. After 15, users may access platforms independently provided they are in secure environments. This initiative aims to create a common European standard as several member states, including Spain, France, and Germany, have already pursued similar national laws. The proposal follows a July report from experts on digital safety and coincides with a legal settlement in the United States where Meta agreed to pay nearly 18 billion dollars over allegations of developing addictive applications for minors.
