“It may be legal, but it’s completely unethical,...”

I have stated that their process to reveal the person’s name my not be ethical.

Yes, and they pose themselves as the arbiters of the morals and ethics of others, ie, "truth to power". They have no standing, which they've long shown to be true but this was a blatant misuse of their power. They weren't doing this for some greater good, or on behalf of the "little guy"-they were threatening the little guy simply for mocking them. That is a blatant misuse of their power, and if they're not eligible for legal repercussions, then the rest of is "little people" need to make them feel the heat of their misuse of power in any (legal) way that we can. If any lawyer can find a legal angle on behalf of the guy who made the video, wonderful. CNN and should not get to dictate free speech to the rest of us simply because they're powerful, and that's what just happened. The video did not contain anything illegal, CNN just simply didn't like it, and brought their power to bear to stifle it.

Keep talking.

I get it. You’re trying to be unbiased and the law does allign in some aspects.

But, you’re missing the point and the real legal aspects so you should take another look, imo.
