Reddit is owned by Time Warner and so is CNN. That’s likely how CNN tracked down the user - via his IP on Reddit, which Reddit would have access to.

The ‘reporter’/extortion expert called up HanA-Hole’s house earlier today. No answer. But the kid (apparently 15) then took down all his posts on Reddit and apologized to CNN.

CNN then spoke with the kid and said they wouldn’t post his name for the world to target him and his family with death threats.

Here’s the article:

CNN includes the threat that they ‘reserve the right’ to Dox the kid later if he speaks out politically.

CNN is threatening to potentially expose his identity (name/address/family/etc), causing him to be ostracized, lose his job, and perhaps, including any of his family, be intimidated / injured / maimed / murdered?

“CNN reserves the right to publish his identity should any of that change.”

That’s a pretty clear death threat considering the political climate with open death threats against around the clock, second to second.
