CNN threatening to release someone's personal information if they don't do exactly as they want them to sounds like Blackmail to me. What's your definition, within the narrative you've created in your head?Hypothetically, let's say he isn't. Blackmailing him is suddenly okay, right?It's not a question of whether or not what 4Chan and Reddit are doing to CNN is ethical, of course it isn't, it's merely the fact that we enjoy watching CNN get what it deserves for spewing lies and blackmailing a 15 year old into silence for making a gif. He wasn't even the creator, supposedly. They asked for this through their actions.This is an unacceptable response. If people want to voice their dislike of CNN that's one thing, or how about this? Simply turn off the station. You don't go after them personally, threaten them or spread vile lies about people.
I'm no lawyer, but it would seem to me some of these people are setting themselves and others up for slander charges if they spread mistruths and/or impact peoples lives with outright lies.
There's no stopping 4Chan, so let's just enjoy the chaos.
You rail against CNN's "lies", and then you happily spread the lie that HanAssholeSolo is a "15 year old".
How do you justify that hypocrisy?
"Blackmail" is a crime with a very specific definition.
Outside of the narrative you've created in your head, what evidence of "blackmail" do you have?

Hypothetically, IF it isn't Blackmail, and it is, would you consider their actions somehow ethical?
I'd consider it both. They tracked down a random person on the internet for posting something they disliked, then threatened him into silence. Regardless of age, that's both unethical and blackmail.CNN threatening to release someone's personal information if they don't do exactly as they want them to sounds like Blackmail to me.

Well, here's another narrative to consider. I'm not arguing that it's correct, just that it's as likely as your blackmail narrative.
CNN tracked this guy down, called him up and said "Hey HanAssholeSolo, we found you. And we're going to out you to the world." Then Mr. HanAssholeSolo responds "No, please don't! I'm a middle-aged man with a family and career to think about! What can I do to keep my identity hidden?" CNN responds "Apolgize, and never do it again".
Would you consider that "blackmail"? Would you consider that unethical?

"CNN Reserves the right to publish his identity should any of that change". That's easily a threat. They also tracked him down and harassed him.
He says it best~

Looks like my narrative was right, then.
And, no - CNN reserving the right to do their jobs (report the news) is not a threat. They're doing him a courtesy by not revealing his name, but it's arguably in their best interests to do so.

I don't know how you drew that conclusion. My only guess is that you neither read the article, nor watched the video. In other words, you're perpetually confused as usual.

Let me refresh your memory, from your own link:
On Monday, KFile attempted to contact the man by email and phone but he did not respond. On Tuesday, "HanA**holeSolo" posted his apology on the subreddit /The_Donald and deleted all of his other posts.
...
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.
CNN is not publishing "HanA**holeSolo's" name because he is a private citizen who has issued an extensive statement of apology, showed his remorse by saying he has taken down all his offending posts, and because he said he is not going to repeat this ugly behavior on social media again. In addition, he said his statement could serve as an example to others not to do the same.
As I postulated before, no "threats" or blackmail occurred.
Mr. AssholeSolo, nervous about being publicly outed as a racist asshole rushed onto r/The_Donald to apologize, then begged CNN to keep his secret. CNN is under no obligation to not out him, the fact that they're doing so is a gift to him, not a crime against him.

Definitely blackmailed him, otherwise he'd have ignored them, and wouldn't have bothered apologizing. In his position, anyone would have otherwise laughed off CNN's antics. Also, the phrasing of that part of the article makes it blatantly obvious; "SHOULD ANY OF THIS CHANGE" as in, if he does anything else they don't like, they'll release his identity. It's obvious blackmail. Naturally, you're a leftist, so of course you're blind to any wrongdoing from your kind.
EXCLUSIVE: CNN Staff Reeling After Personal Info Leaked
Looks like the worm has turned on these charlatans......
"Several anchors and reporters at CNN have had their home addresses published and have received threats of rape and other violence in the wake of a story published by Andrew Kaczynski, who heads up the network’s investigative K-FILE team. Anti-network trolls are encouraging viewers to wrongly accuse CNN staffers of pedophilia and child pornography. There is also “tons of anti-Semitism.”
“Frustration” is the predominant feeling inside CNN, has learned.
Kaczynski published a story on the 4th of July in which he appeared to threaten to publish the name of a user who parades around anonymously as “HanAssholeSolo.” HanAssholeSolo claimed to be the originator of the wrestling video tweeted by President Trump in which POTUS flattened a wrestler whose face was a CNN logo.
Trump has long accused CNN of being “fake news” and “very fake news.”
The network seems to be fulfilling Trump’s need for a public enemy. In other words, CNN fills the void for “Low energy Jeb,” “Little Marco,” “Lyin’ Ted” and “Crooked Hillary.” In recent months, CNN has become a virtual punching bag for Trump supporters. The reason doesn’t often matter. Be it White House correspondent Jim Acosta bitching about press access or “New Day” host Chris Cuomo deleting a tweet, they’re drunk on hate and their perception that the network is not giving Trump a fair shake. They delight in clobbering the network as much and as often as possible."

He didn't want his racism outed to the world, so he begged CNN to keep it a secret, going as far as posting a lengthy apology on reddit in the hopes that it would convince them he was serious. It's laid out clear as day in the article you linked.

You only think that way because Doxxing people is okay... but only if you're a leftist. By your logic, 4Chan is totally in the right for choosing to Doxx CNN's employees.

As was said in the reddit thread: "We do this for free, the bank account is unlimited"
Expect to be doxxed and prank-called CNN.
CNN.
Such unadulterated BS! CNN "reporters" hide behind unnamed sources.CNN employees aren't anonymous. They sign their names to the articles they publish, they don't hide behind message board screennames. 4chan trolls have already been doxxing and threatening whoever they please for the last couple of years, including, I'm sure, most of the staff at CNN. You seem very upset by the idea that one of them might have to face up to what they do to everyone who dares oppose them.
You didn't answer the question. Because it's completely fine for CNN to doxx anyone they disagree with, it must be completely fine for 4Chan to doxx the CNN employees, right?You only think that way because Doxxing people is okay... but only if you're a leftist.
