CNN threatens to dox creator of Trump meme

[perasite]

Money, property or services. So is the guy fessing up, deleting his account, and apologizing prior to even being contacted blackmail? CNN decided prior to any of this knowledge not to release his information.

You keep saying that, but you are wrong. They emailed him first. It scared him that a MAJOR news organization was coming after him so he deleted his stuff and apologized out of fear of what douchebags on the internet would do to him if CNN ran the story. Then he contacted CNN and they said, you'd better obey us from now on OR ELSE we will post your name and make your life hell.

He was contacted first. Even CNN admits that. Don't be naive.

[vhatever]

No, it's because you are arguing against anyone posting publicly available information. What kind of position is that to take?

It's been posted in the thread earlier, and attributed by CNN. I smell another conspiracy brewing! Quick check 4chan and your favorite subreddit for the "real" information, not some propaganda by the lamestream media!

Why don't you just admit you lied instead of personal attacks?

It isn't doxxing if it is publicly available information, we've been over this.

So, you support CNN doxxing this guy, for malicious reasons then?

I am not lying, the information that CNN had and others showing cached commentary from the meme creators various social media profiles. Or is all that just doctored and manufactured information by CNN and their liberal puppet masters creating a false narrative?

No, because what they did isn't doxxing. You do know the definition of doxxing right?

[Tijuana]

You're being irrational as fuck right now. He just said it's not doxxing and you ask, "you support doxxing?!?!!!?11"

He is wrong that it's doxxing. I have not insulted you. Why not keep it civil, instead?

Elaborate for me what you think it means, and why CNN is not threatening that.

It's not doxxing, since his social media profiles and commentary made under those profiles are all public. Why would he delete it unless he was just another liberal cuck acting as a strong conservative internet hero?

Ok, so it seems you have made dozens of posts in the thread, without actually knowing what we are talking about. The topic of the thread, is that CNN threatened to release this persons name and other personal info to the public. Right now, you and I do not know who this poster is in real life. CNN is threatening to change that, if this guy every does more memes they don't like. This is obviously insane, on many levels, and possibly illegal. At a minimum, it opens them up to being sued, which regardless of outcome, is bad press for them.

Your argument seems to be, that because the memes are in public, this poster has no right to his anonymity that you also enjoy, and you are not willing to give up to prove your point that doxxing doesn't matter.

Nazism is clearly far-right, only a moron would think it's far-left

Completely agreed.

[Ghostpanther]

Completely agreed.

Completely disagree. There are parts of the far left and right which resemble fascism. Which is the root of Nazism. They want to silence those who disagree with their agenda.

[perasite]

They had no malicious intent, unless he disobeyed their orders, then UNLEASH THE HORDES!!

[zenkai]

Deleted by, wait you guessed it, the guy who made the social media profiles and commented on them. You, internet edgelord #4353456 would do the exact same thing if the President retweeted, liked, shared, tagged any of your posts you make in social media.

WTF? Peoples personal information is not on their reddit account. You don't even know what the fuck you're talking about. Also nothing is ever really deleted from the internet, so please show us his personal information. https://archive.org/index.php

They had no malicious intent. As evidenced by them NOT releasing his information. Had their intent been malicious we'd know his name and whatnot.

So, in your mind, it's acceptable for powerful media corporations to use their giant megaphone to threaten people and take away their privacy rights? When did the left become so corporatist, that they want the media doing things we used to use laws to sort out?

As long as he fell inline they wouldn't release his information. Funny how most of the world knows CNN pretty much blackmailed this guy into an apology but our extreme leftest here just can't grasp reality.

Judge Pirro seems to believe this is a crime: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OxNDyXizP60

She's got a license to judge. Having said that, Pirro is notoriously pro-Trump and doesn't seem to practice law at this time, so take it with a grain of salt. Either way, it cannot be refuted that this action is dangerously close to illegal, if not actually illegal.

This thread is still going? Man you guys are going at it today.

Shoutout to Shane La from social.

Someone should run the percentage of the posters not grasping this and compare to the percentage of the population with autism.

For science of course

Fake news CNN got what it deserved

[vhatever]

Not even remotely accurate. He came to them and asked them to not run the story after apologizing. They said they wouldn't but they reserve the right to if he acts like a shitbag again. That doesn't mean they will, necessarily, it just means they reserve the right to use the information obtained through their research in future stories should it be relevant.

Why did they say it if it wasn't a threat. They had no need to make that statement, they can't exactly plead ignorance to not knowing how the news business works, ya know?

[vhatever]

Because it protects their ability to use the information in future stories if he becomes newsworthy again? I know, basic logic is so hard to grasp.

Did they need to make that statement to protect their ability to cover him possibly in the future? Yes or no.

This thread is Liberal-Champion at it's most disgusting finest. Thankfully the rest of the world isn't this insane yet.
