ok one last post

What proof is there that they're blackmailing this guy other than a post that says they can still publish the information they have (which they can) and what looks like a person getting their stories mixed up?

In a court of law this would be shoddy evidence of any deal happening at best.

If they were indeed blackmailing him why not just release the evidence of them doing so? It would hurt them far worse than this whole fiasco and then he might even have legal ground to stand on to sue them (thought not likely). If this has unfolded the way you're saying why doesn't he just step up and put forward his side of the story?

At the end of the day all you have is someone posted racist/bigoted things and were found out but CNN decided not to post his info to protect him after he apologized which seems like a pretty good conclusion to me. The only actual concrete evidence is they found a guy, he issued an apology, and he definitely has an offensive post history associated with him.

Catface i don't why you have to be so low browed in whats supposed to be discussion but thats just your own issues I guess.

Ok now I'm pcing out

i dont know where to begin with this

i think the american education system has failed you

hope you have a good night as im heading out since this thread has now devolved into name calling by people that don't like to have intelligent conversation

also here is the things about genocide

i know you like to sling shit about reading but you should try it too

Maybe I'm missing the issue but dont most people that do dumb shit and are discovered for it have to do an apology? Granted this is probably the dumbest thing ever but I just don't see the controversy. It's like if some black guy was found coincidentally posting memes online about killing whites I'd expect him to issue an apology too you know.

Also I've yet to see any source corroborate this guy is 15 since all signs point towards him being a full grown adult?

So he finds the guy using information he posted publicly who then issues an apology once he realizes that its probably not a good idea to have posts about literal genocide associated with your name and then they don't post his info because he apologizes and asks them not to.

And the problem is what exactly???? That the information still exists in the universe of what he did?

I just find this such a literal non-issue that people are worked up about. Like why would CNN even bother investigating this? And then once they do they just find a racist asshole who posts about genocide on a account where anyone can figure out who he is (a true shocker) and then people try to twist this into some sort of doxxing issue.

This whole event is so non-substantial its actually the just the unbelievable levels of fact twisting and assumptions that make this interesting.

I'm still trying to see where this supposed nefarious deal was made

How are they not the same? If you said/presented very offensive things in say a city square many people would be very angry even violenty so about said things regardless if its a joke or not. I'm also sure some people in that city square would want to ruin his life in that scenario too if they found information he's put out publicly about himself.

You could interpret it that way or you could also say the guy is lucky that the offensive things he said in a public space wont be associated to him after someone found out about it and decided not to publish it.

If he said these things in a public space in real life there would be angry mob of justice wanting to ruin his friends' and families' life too, not that it makes it right but that's a consequence of saying potentially offensive things in public spaces. It's perfectly fine for private persons/companies to be against someone's opinion as long as they don't infringe upon their rights. The only consequences free speech is protected from is consequences from the government.

I think people are just going to have to accept the internet is a public place now and if you post stuff on it you better be prepared for it to potentially come back to you, especially if put information about yourself online that is easily found in connection to your posts.

Could someone explain how a news agency finding out the name of someone who did something online in a public space is any different than finding out a name of someone who did something offline in a public space.

i dont think ive ever seen girls put on pedestals in esports for anything other than brand marketing purposes and i think its pretty disingenuous to assert they're somehow both problems of equal magnitude

in fact i would struggle to even make up enough data to show girls progress is hindered in esports because of TOO much praise lol
