== Controversy ==
=== CNN doxxing u/HanAssholeSolo ===
In July of 2017, a Redditor known as u/HanAssholeSolo made a gif meme of CNN, where he put the CNN logo on the head of Vince McMahon being punched down by then-President Donald J Trump. Trump himself liked and retweeted the meme. It outraged CNN, and in two days, they found his personal Facebook, telling him to apologize and delete his edgy memes or get doxxed. u/HanAssholeSolo apologized and purged his history. CNN made a public statement about the controversy.
This incident sparked fury among the meme community, and Reddit, despite butting heads with 4chan, called a personal truce and began what was known as "The Great CNN Meme War", or in 4chan's terms, "Operation Autism Storm". It started with making memes dedicated to mocking and debasing CNN, so that CNN would have difficulty targeting one specific person. 4chan also contacted CNN's advertisers about the situation to cut off their funding, causing #CNNBlackmail began trending days laterhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sa8NfmcAN5o. They also got prominent figures such as Patricia Heaton and Donald Trump Jr. to spread rumours of u/HanAssholeSolo being a 15 year old boy, knowing that making it look like the victim was a child would make CNN look more heinous in the public eye. The only way for CNN to debunk this would be to release the personal information they already had, however this would be doxxing and would have legal consequences for themhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7g3lDUGs7nA.
Other efforts in the Operation Autism Storm included downloading the CNN App and giving it one star, and then deleting it. Paul himself and Alex Jones also held the first "meme contest", with a reward of $20,000 to whoever created the best meme against CNN. Other news sources started to cover thishttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gWhGcJhfjE8.
Around a week later, on July 6th, rumours started to spread that CNN had in fact doxxed the wrong guy, but this was just a smokescreen for the final scheme of Operation Autism Storm - that was, getting several anons to purchase universal remotes in order to change the channels on public television so that they could hurt the ratings of CNN.
CNN managed to suppress the negative ratings, and publications such as MTV expressed their solidarity with them, claiming people who made GIFs did not deserve anonymity, even announcing a spin-off of their show Catfish centering around someone doxxing people online. However the show got negative reception.
This controversy was the center of Internet Historian's videohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b_yCj6fXtlA "The CNN Skirmishes | Meme Insider Collaboration".
