CNN will regret this move. Twitter is exploding with CNN Memes.

It sounds like you approve of what CNN did to this kid.

What CNN did was blackmail or at minimum coercion under duress.

Both are crimes that don’t involve the 1st Amendment.

5. EXPOSE A SECRET OR PUBLICIZE AN ASSERTED FACT, WHETHER TRUE OR FALSE, TENDING TO SUBJECT SOME PERSON TO HATRED, CONTEMPT OR RIDICULE;...

This! It is common knowledge that the left will go after anybody that speaks truth to their power, or merely mocks them. It is what they do. So CNN, by threatening to reveal his name, is threatening his life and livelihood. CNN is a party to any threats that turn against the maker of this meme, should they reveal his identity.

yeah, I was wondering about that one too! He’d have had no reason to make that up..... leaving MD in 1990 certainly implies he’s a great many years beyond minor-hood.

Tip for CNN: there is a HUGE hornet’s nest in a bush out in my yard...I am NOT going to poke it with a stick.

“CNN is about to feel the power of weaponized autism.”

True that the force will not allow them to mess with a 15yo teen.

What is the meaning of “dox”?

It’s been used to nickname the dachshund dog. They’re doxies, in plural.

I wonder what the official position of Reddit is on all this. I don’t participate in Reddit, so I don’t know who owns it and what their Terms of Use are. But CNN taking a shot at one of their users like this is chilling for business.

Will this “clock boy” be invited to the White House? I’d like to see that!

I think we freepers have known for 20 years that the gummint knew who we are. If you couldn’t live with that you probably shouldn’t be here.

“There is no right not to be embarrassed.”

Imagine if the Founding Fathers had worried about being embarrassed. We are weak - and I include myself.

hmmm...one of his posts says he left Maryland in 1990.
Good trick for a 15 year old. Maybe means nothing.

Does anyone ever see n-words like HanASolo apparently posted, on Reddit? I thought the mods thankfully deleted those comments immediately? Anyone understand this?

Mods delete things but that is circulating as his supposed posts. I find it hard to believe the N word would stay up there more than 2 minutes.

It’s ugly already. The reporter’s name, wife’s name, family members, email, phone numbers, etc. are all over 4chan.

That will be good! That scene is disturbing in the movie, but replacing the guy with CNN will provide a “feel-good moment”.

“This was a situation of “you will behave as we dictate or we will destroy your life without an expiration date”.

How is that legal, as you stated in Post 98?

If the CNN doxx threat vic is a minor, that might explain the groveling apology. It read like it could’ve been written by lefty parents and/or their lawyer.
