Dear retard MageMage:

No one has excused or shown any sort of approval of doxxing in any form here. (except the pro-CNN crowd)

CNN being owned by a multinational corporation worth $55bil means there's a difference in power and responsibilities between them and private citizens.

tbh it was actually probably a smarter move by cnn to just threaten-ish the guy rather than directly publish his information

publishing his information would have made him a known and named victim, leading to a gofundme, possible recognition by the president, etc

nah it would have been just like every other racist that got exposed in a news story since the internet was a thing. it's happened before and will happen again

the reason this is a story is because they withheld his identity on a condition, which is a new paradigm for a media corporation, and..... ah gently caress why bother people just love corporate media feeding them bullshit I guess, enjoy your information monopoly

As think as time goes on we're gonna reach a saturation point where basically every person on Earth has a history that be dredged up to smear them and people won't give a gently caress anymore. Like we will reach a point where you will be the one people are annoyed with if you bring up someone's past unless it was both relevant and very recent.

What if actually some people aren't just openly assholes all the time so there's nothing to really dredge up on most people? Like the worst thing about me you can probably find on the internet if you tried reeaaaaal hard is some pictures of me doing drugs.

Maybe actually most people are normal enough to realize posting dumb stuff with your real name on news articles is not a good idea.

He published an expose on the General in charge of Special Forces. Was told by the generals underlings they were going to kill him. Told people he thought someone had tampered with his car and then had it explode while he was driving it the next day. The car was on fire before it hit anything but it was ruled an accident

After posting his apology, "HanA**holeSolo" called CNN's KFile and confirmed his identity. In the interview, "HanA**holeSolo" sounded nervous about his identity being revealed and asked to not be named out of fear for his personal safety and for the public embarrassment it would bring to him and his family.

I'm pretty sure he asked them to not reveal his info.
