What do you guys think about this? Regardless of what you think of the GIF is it suddenly illegal to criticize or make fun of CNN in any way? Since when were corporate medias allowed to dox individuals just because someone 'offends' them for saying or doing anything differently?

Yeah, I saw this earlier today. It's sad, to be honest. The fact that a multi-billion dollar company is looking to bring down a regular person in this fashion is honestly dangerous. This poor guy has absolutely no way to fight back against CNN (even though he absolutely has a lawsuit; if he wants it), but CNN could literally ruin his life.

The person is a 15 year old, and CNN threatened the boy. Hello people, you do not threaten people, especially underage kids who is just poking fun at stuff. CNN should be sued in behalf of the family and the boy, for threatening to ruin the boys life.
