Official Channels
Where FODEL publishes directly. Each link is checked for the correct platform and profile format.
A tick means the link resolves to a valid company profile URL on that platform. It does not confirm the account is operated by FODEL — that requires a signal only the platform or the company can give, so DXBi does not claim it.
Press & Announcements
Every item links back to its original source. Announcements are only marked as coming from FODEL when the link resolves to the company's own domain.
