- 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 outlet covering this story shares the same political lean; read with that in mind.
Nitter and XCancel, alternative platforms used to view and share posts from the social network X, have resumed their operations. Both services had previously announced the suspension of their activities in late August. The Nitter team reported receiving a cease and desist notice from X on August 24, 2026. After consulting with legal counsel, the project organizers decided to continue the project. Nitter stated that it would be operational again shortly, while XCancel has already returned to service. Both sources are center leaning and present the news as a factual update regarding the availability of these proxy services.
