110 admissible press and official feeds across 9 blocs. Every feed is checked for robots.txt compliance, text-and-data-mining reservations, and UK/EU/US sanctions before admission.

What we read and why

Parallax reads only public RSS and Atom feeds that permit our crawler (ParallaxBot). From each item we read the headline and standfirst to cluster events and write our own framing map; we never reproduce a publisher's headline or article text on the site. Where a publisher reserves text-and-data-mining rights (for example via tdmrep.json or robots directives) or operates a paywall, we never fetch article bodies. State media enters only after a recorded check against UK OFSI, EU Regulation 833/2014 Annex XV, and US OFAC sanctions lists, and is labelled STATE on every surface.

Our intake

World-news items each bloc's own feeds gave us in the last 24 hours. This measures our feeds, not a bloc's press: a newswire that files every statement (TASS) outweighs a newspaper's world section many times over, so the front page counts shared stories instead (why). Here it is what it is good for — a feed that floods or goes quiet.
