re: It appears every single CNN link on @CNN is COMPLETELY deluged

Bold move Cecile. 4chan going to rape you.

I still look back with pride on TD making Jordan Jefferson the top QB in the nation on an ESPN poll.

Complaining doesn't do anything. To be effective, you have to hit them where it hurts....their wallet. And the best way to hit them in the wallets is to make their advertisers start reconsidering whether they want to be associated with CNN anymore. If a few big national advertisers start pulling their ads, CNN will be forced to stop being so biased and report accurate news or they'll commit corporate suicide even quicker.

I hate CNN, but I am completely against this. It's already fricked up Free Speech severely this year. YouTube, O'Reilly, and quite a few others have gone down due to corporations.

Now ask yourself this: do want corporations to dictate what free speech is acceptable? The answer is absolutely not. It would be the death of free speech. So I'd rather CNN just continue to frick up, I continue to not watch, they damage their reputation more by the day, and then let them pay from there if enough VIEWERS stop watching. If they keep this up, then basically anyone of any controversy or put out some story they don't like as a whole will be silenced and shunned in corporate interest instead of the people's interest.

That's a dangerous, dangerous slippery slope when you let corporations decide what the narrative is who have not a single ounce of journalistic integrity and would like to silence the press if something bad about them makes the news.

What CNN wrote is 100% correct. They do have the right to release his information. And they reserve the right.

Extortion is generally frowned upon.

This is exactly what CNN is trying to do. A major news corporation is upset that some random individual posted a meme that CNN doesn't like, so they devoted investigative resources to find out who he is and then threaten to dox him if he doesn't apologize and promise not to post anything that offends them again.

Cecile doesn't understand the interwebs

I don't think Cecile knows what they are up against.

Right. As someone else pointed out, I don't know who I'd be more fearful to be pissed at me - the US government/deep state, or 4chan/Anonymous.

The whole "boycott sponsors" is silly to me.

Boycotts do seem a bit antiquated since the rise of the meme. Don't boycott, meme the sponsors. The left can't respond because they have no sense of humor.

bullshite. The resident defenders said it's only popular in alt-right circle jerks on obscure forums like this one.

The alt-right is relatively large across the internet. But that doesn't mean it is popular.

And it is frighteningly easy to create a twitterbot and deluge twitter with posts. I can get a twitter bot going in under 5 minutes, and probably even faster if twitter didn't make it as hard as it is to create a twitter app.
