    This isnt an issue of free speech, this is an issue of anonyminity and the consequences of it's revokation. The man expressed his views under the same condition of anonyminity we all reside under. If this man is publically doxed on national news at best you severely reduce his potential, damage his relations and at worst they get him killed.

    And please dont pull some "you're being hysterical" line; this is a highly charged political are upon which violence has allready been enacted, people have been almost killed with the same means for even less heinous "offences".

    I havent moved any goal post, I have merely put a bullet into your ill informed idea that it is public information.
    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.

    CNN reserves the right to publish his identity should any of that change.
    The threat of his dox is being held over him to cooerce him to do something he wouldnt otherwise do. This is blackmail.

    I am asking why people who identify as alt-right like yourself seem to care so much about the rights of those who wish to trample other people's rights.
    At a certain point the alt-right snowflake mentality gets tiring, "I want my free speech, but without consequences!"
    "First they came for the alt-right and I didnt speak out-
    Because I wasnt an alt-righter."

    Spare me your apologistic whataboutery I have little patience for it.

    It is when POTUS re-tweets it. Any statement endorsed by the POTUS is of public interest.
    It's a shitpost not a political manifesto; The public gains nothing from the identity of the man who superimposed CNN over Vince McMahon's face.

    Being better than the worst does not inherently make you good. But being better than the rest lets you brag.
