Legal analysis: CNN probably committed a crime in using threat to censor "Trump-CNN-wrestling" meme maker

Reporters at CNN were mighty proud of themselves for tracking down a Reddit user who was supposedly behind the animated GIF image of President Donald Trump at Wrestlemania, fake fighting with WWE Chairman Vince McMahon, but with McMahon’s head replaced by a CNN logo. Their story even boasted the self-congratulatory headline, “How CNN found the Reddit user behind the Trump wrestling GIF.”

The article talks about how the Reddit user apparently has a history of anti-Semitic and anti-Muslim posts. CNN said they weren’t revealing his identity because he’s a private citizen who said he would stop the offensive behavior. However, the article said, “CNN reserves the right to publish his identity should any of that change.”

Perhaps looking to take CNN down a peg, Wikileaks founder Julian Assange decided to rain on their parade with a couple of trolling tweets, accusing them of violating federal and state laws by hanging the threat over the person’s head in case CNN thinks he ever steps out of line.
