Reporters Without Borders (RSF) has included billionaire Bidzina Ivanishvili, founder of Georgia's ruling party, on its list of "Predators of Press Freedom 2025." The list also includes the leaders of Russia, Belarus, and China—Vladimir Putin, Alexander Lukashenko, and Xi Jinping.

This list, marketed as a supplement to RSF's annual World Press Freedom Index, identifies individuals the organization believes actively undermine media freedom. Unlike the Index, which assesses the overall state of press freedom, the "Predator List" focuses on specific individuals and practices. Ivanishvili was categorized as someone who uses financial pressure to suppress the media.

Reporters Without Borders notes that Ivanishvili, along with others, restricts media activities and exerts arbitrary legal pressure on them.
