Teen Vogue staffers have taken to social media to share the news they've been laid off, just as Condé Nast announced the outlet will be "joining Vogue.com, a transition that's part of a broader push to expand the Vogue ecosystem."

Teen Vogue covered fashion and celebrity, but also took in-depth looks at politics and social justice issues. Their writers have tackled everything from climate change to political pressures on universities, celebrity style to Billie Eilish's recent comments about billionaires.

Important to note that Donna Rice Hughes, who runs the child safety advocacy group Enough is Enough, has been gunning for Teen Vogue for years, circulating petitions and publicly condemning sex-positive articles. She's been pressuring Condé Nast to shut down Teen Vogue for at least five years.

Hughes is a major political figure in the US, who rallied and consulted on the digital safety acts to protect children, leading to heavier censorship, moderation, and now ID verification on the internet in some states.

Enough is Enough claims to be secular and non-partisan, but their programs include faith-based initiatives, and Hughes publicly endorsed Trump on the organization's website.
