Grammar points
-고 있다to be doing, to be in the state of
-고 있다 after a verb stem says that an action or a situation is going on right now. With 되다 it describes a state that continues, which is why 논란이 되고 있습니다 means the argument is still going, not that it happened once. News uses this form to mark a story that is still developing.
Example: 독일인 틱톡커가 서울 지하철에서 찍은 영상이 논란이 되고 있습니다.

N 등N and others, N and so on
등 after one or more nouns says the list is not complete. It sits right after the last item with no particle in between, and any particle for the whole group comes after 등, as in 녹사평역 등에서. Reading tip: when you see 등, the writer has named the main examples and left the rest out.
Example: 촬영은 6호선 삼각지역과 녹사평역 등 여러 역에서 했습니다.
The filming was done at several stations, including 삼각지역 and 녹사평역 on Line 6.
N 없이without N
없이 after a noun means that thing is absent while the action happens, and it is the adverb form of 없다. It attaches directly, with no particle: 모자이크 없이 is 'without blurring'. The opposite is not 있이 but a phrase like N을 하고 or N과 함께.
Example: 영상에 나오는 시민들의 얼굴은 모자이크 없이 그대로 나왔습니다.
The faces of the members of the public in the videos were shown as they were, without any blurring.
