- 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.
Apple briefly removed the Telegram messaging app from its App Store after an analysis identified content that violated guidelines regarding the prohibition of child sexual abuse material. Apple stated that the application was restored after the developer promptly removed the content and banned the user who posted it. Telegram commented on the situation via X, stating that reports of its death were greatly exaggerated. A spokesperson for Apple and representatives for Telegram did not provide additional comments on the violation.
