As you no doubt know by now, CNN recently discovered the creator of a video meme that President Donald Trump posted on his Twitter account that made the mainstream media go absolutely nuts. Trump tweeted a 10-year-old video of him guest-starring at a pro wrestling event, doctored to make it look like he was knocking down a man with CNN's logo superimposed over his face. After the President beats up "CNN," another image pops up on the screen: "FNN: Fraud News Network."
Evidently, CNN had nothing better to do than track down the person who made the meme. They told him they'd protect his anonymity since he apologized... but they'd be watching. If he continued to post memes they deemed racist, all bets were off.
Well, provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos went to CNN's headquarters to tell them exactly what he thinks of their actions. Yiannopoulos and his crew showed up with a sign that read “Hands Up, Don’t Doxx.” According to the Economist:
The term "dox" (also spelt "doxx", and short for "[dropping] documents") first came into vogue as a verb around a decade ago, referring to malicious hackers' habit of collecting personal and private information, including home addresses and national identity numbers. The data are often released publicly against a person’s wishes. It is a practice frowned upon by users of Reddit, a popular online forum, and many others.
I guess people frown on the practice except those who work at CNN. Yiannopoulos began:
"Hands up, don't doxx. CNN is the most trusted name in blackmail. This is the organization that threatened to release private information of the identity of a private citizen for telling a joke, for making a cartoon... The thing that really gets under their skin is laughing at them. Well, guess what, CNN? The whole country is laughing at you. The thing that's really sinister about this company is the language they use about you. It's the school-marmish, arrogant language they use about you. 'He has apologized for his terrible behavior. We are going to do him a favor and not fuck up his life over a cartoon. That's subject to change.'"
"There's no other way to interpret that than blackmail, extortion, and threats," he continued. "It is bullying and it is unacceptable."
