- 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.
Every source for this story reports from Brazil.
Every outlet covering this story shares the same political lean; read with that in mind.
Sophia Florence, the 18 year old influencer known as Soso Careca, revealed in a TikTok video that she struggled with an addiction to electronic cigarettes starting at age 13. She stated that she remained dependent for five years and only managed to quit after three attempts. Florence shared that she initially began using vapes due to peer influence at a party and later purchased her own device while on an exchange program in Germany. She admitted to hiding the habit from her parents, which she said prevented them from helping her. The influencer credited her boyfriend, MC Paiva, for his encouragement to stop, noting that she eventually succeeded after an incident where she coughed up blood. She has now been without the devices for three months and posted the video to encourage her followers to avoid the habit.
