Even if I do, this still doesn't make any sense. A news organization putting something out there (such as a person's name) related to a public event (POTUS using something he created on a twitter account followed by millions) and using a publicly available forum to brag about it attracts attention. This is not the same as publishing address or phone number information to attract harassment which is something that any respectable news outlet would be above.

It's implicit in giving someone a second chance that there will be consequences if they go back to their bad behavior. And what exactly is the "threat" here? That his friends and family will know he's a vile, racist piece of shit? It's disgusting that right wingers would compare that to the horror of being kept hostage by terrorists.
Like the information having no probative value. You've made it pretty clear in this thread you arent actually interested in the information itself, just this guy getting mob justice.

so someone posting threats on the internet isn't of probative value now, they can just wipe it all away by the claim that they're trolling?
but I care about both, if the dude gets mob justice for being a shitbag are you going to be sad about it? Because that would be pretty pathetic - having sympathy for a wannabe terrorist.
Edit: and yes, the president quoted him. I'd love to see who the president finds quoteworthy.
I would like to know when Donald Trump, our President, is sourcing meme's from a well known bigot with an extensive history of bigotry on a reddit full of bigots and the ugliest parts of humanity. Maybe you don't care but I certainly do.
Did any of them create memes? Won't anybody think about the memes?
A white man who engages in anonymous shitposting just like some of his defenders being caped for more than the "untrustworthy MSM" that has the power and right to ruin these same defenders like they almost did said white man should they ever get in too deep into contributing to a narrative that could actually harm or kill people in real life, because they desperately don't want to have to take responsibility for their ghastly online presence because it's hard being a good person?
Say it ain't so.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
Oh shit. This whole time we thought you didn't know what doxxing is. Turns out you don't know what "reveals" means.
Good to know that working on CNN is vile enough that people need to know even your SSN but posting neonazi shit and being notable enough to be quoted by the POTUS?
Nah who needs to know anything about that dude?
I don't know about you but when a politician quotes someone I like to know who made the quote.

no it's different you see because it's a redditor and they should always have 100% anonymity no matter what they say or who quotes them or what they admit to
You're being far too coherent about this. Just scream,"FREE SPEECH" over and over again and you're always right.
So fucking transparent what this is about.
If one of them falls, all of them are at risk now. The internet suddenly isn't this vacuous place with no consequences.
Special snowflakes can't handle the real world. They literally need that anonymity to maintain their ability to be dregs.
That is absolutley information that is of public interest and I never said otherwise.

Then what are you bitching about? That's what CNN did except they didn't reveal who he really was.

Can’t stump the diablos
Isn't doxing the doxers vigilante justice?
If this guy did publish sensitive info on CNN employees then why not turn this information to the authorities and let them handle things?
A national news agency shouldn't be enciting vigilante justice -- or threatening to if things don't go their way--.

Some liberal?? friends of mine are defending this guy and want proof that he tried to incite violence against certain groups. Are there posts I can link them to to get them to rethink their lunacy?
They keep going on and on about the media NOT BEING POLICE!!! and it's the worst

let me know when cnn releases his ssn, address, phone number, place of work and all that other good stuff diablos
also it's inciting
actually it's about ethics in journalism
They live to be victims, essentially. It gives them an excuse for their constant state of anger.
I like how knowing who people are in a news story in which they're relevant is "inciting vigilante justice."
Crossing Eden
Hello, my name is Yves Guillemot, Vivendi S.A.'s Employee of the Month!
It's a real shocker I'll tell you what
Where is CNN inciting vigilante justice? They aren't calling for all the CNN trolls to start flaming these people's twitter accounts or whatever.
Again, this is who people are defending
Because the story can change. If someone else reports his information and the story becomes bigger (let's say Trump comments on it). Do you think CNN should not report it because of some promise they made to HanAssholeSolo?
requoting so people can see who they are leaping to defend.
The president shouldn't be persecuting individual new hosts either, but here you are, every day, stanning for him.
You don't fool anyone.
It's pathetically transparent: You are here to defend a racist.
Not to demand better from CNN, not because you care about privacy.
Because you want to defend a racist, which is what you do day in and day out.
Nobody, and I mean nobody deserves the fate of having their identity as a White Supremacist known, and even worse have it held over their head. Even one that fantasizes about stabbing Muslims. I feel bad for this man who did nothing wrong but only exercised his free speech, talking shit that hurts nobody.
Ok I feel dirty even saying that sarcastically.
I already said I don't care to see the man's identity at this point and it's doubtful CNN will release it, that was the whole point of the statement. But yeah, itt people upset that CNN actually hiding his identity which he doesn't deserve, because they were mean about it.

maybe because even they know killing all black people and muslims probably isn't a good thing to say in public forums and it could get people mad at them
if only they knew that before, c'est la vie
Who told you this guy doxxed CNN employees?
Who told you CNN told people to find out who doxxed their employees?
white supremacists are all into that blood in blood out shit

You don't care about reality or even your own comprehension of it.
From the article:
In your reality he called CNN, confirmed who he was, and laid out his own blackmail terms in order to blackmail himself? That's unlikely!
He asked not to be identified for his own reasons and CNN honored that. It's as simple as that.
Needs to be requoted every page. Defending this shit is completely untenable.
Doesn't everyone have the right to an OPINION?

Two thoughts:
A) stop doing drugs
B) or start doing them
Your current approach isn't working.
The 1st amendment allows for free speech. It does not protect against consequences of said speech.

The guy you voted for, and who is now President, threatened 2 morning talk show hosts with blackmail if they didn't report more positive coverage of him. Are you now calling for his Impeachment?
Gotta stick up for your own.

The logic here.
Anonymous_User777: "Blacks and Muslims should die." x365 days+
-Anonymous_User777's gif get used by the president of the United States-
CNN: "We know who Anonymous_User777 and he has a long history of being a bigot"
Anonymous_User777: "I'm sorry this is not who I am."
CNN: "We won't release his name since he apologized but we withhold the right to do so if we want to."
Defenders: "Wow CNN wtf! You guys are terrible. How dare you threaten him! He is 15 years old and I do not know how I learned about his age but he is 15! [Not talking about that Anonymous_User777 is a bigot]"
It truly makes me wonder if his defenders have an online history of bigotry.

it was sarcasm sorry, out of context with my other posts in the thread/page I can understand how someone could think that boneheaded argument is actually coming from me
Give him time, he has to defend all the blatant racists before getting to talk show hosts
Well to be fair to them, the President's son said he was 15 years old, because of course he did. Remember when the President and his family were considered a good source of factual information? The good ol days.
quick anti-doxxers, jump to condemn this too!

Hannassholesolo created the terms. They are his. He said don't identify me because I'm just a troll and I'm going to stop. He came up with the terms and CNN agreed.
Things just have to HIS way then, and not CNNs.
He blackmailed himself according to your logic.
