Social media companies have insisted their technology is politically neutral, a claim their conservative critics have turned against them to devastating effect. In Texas and Florida, Republican lawmakers passed legislation in 2021 that would restrict the ability of social media companies to moderate their own websites.

Notably, the court left the Texas and Florida laws blocked for now and tacitly allowed the Biden administration to keep communicating with social media companies.

He eventually devolves into whining about having to review the toe position on every NFL catch, etc, etc, ad infinitum, ad nauseam.

The changes, which rolled out in October 2024, include eliminating both the red box behind the white CNN logo and the black bar across the top of the page that provides key navigational links. Instead, the bar is now white with a shadow effect used to separate it from the rest of the page. The reversed CNN logo inside a red square has been a mainstay of the CNN website for years now, so switching to the red-on-white look is a notable departure. The logo appears in red against a white background on the network’s domestic feed (it’s reversed on the CNN International feed). The new navigation bar continues to use the network’s proprietary CNN Sans font in what appears to be a slightly bolder weight.
