AllSides Media Bias Rating: Right
Taylor Swift continued to be the most talked about woman on the Internet on Sunday, when the Kansas City Chiefs were declared Super Bowl bound.
Despite Travis Kelce and Swift being at the forefront of trends, X still had her name blocked from the search function on its platform.
The decision to keep Taylor's name unsearchable on X began earlier in the week after it was discovered that sexually explicit AI-generated images were circulating on the social media network.
