According to Senator Ted Cruz, CNN’s threats to dox the Reddit user who created the Trump wrestling CNN video could be a violation of Georgia law.
CNN discovered the identity of the Reddit user who made the video and essentially threatened to reveal his identity if he continued to post unsavory content.
Cruz said if CNN tracked down the Reddit user through his IP address and then used that information to threaten him, they could be in violation of a Georgia law.
CNN headquarters are located in Atlanta, GA.
The GA Code explains that someone could be guilty of “Theft by extortion” if they threaten to “disseminate any information tending to subject any person to hatred, contempt, or ridicule or to impair his credit or business repute.”

Isn’t Conde Naste owned by American Express?
It wasn’t just CNN, they apparently got most of their information from the left-wing hate-group known as the ADL, which should also be added to the #CNNblackmail campaign.
We become very tired carrying around those who latch on to us as we surf the waves of the web. Even more distressing are the click bait sites which are rampant with virus, bugs, and worms. The net has found a way to discourage many subscribers - not only by a continuous “upgrading” in presentation, but the pop ups which are extremely annoying.
Still - it is (sadly) all we have any longer to keep us informed of just about anything we wish to know or to ask.
There are times, we’re certain there would be more privacy in changing clothes in a department store window.
You will pay for that! How dare you! ARe you trying to get a reporter killed?
So true.
And the reason that Microsoft introduces a new "presentation" to us is they want to insert new spyware to push more and more propaganda, advertising, and truth misdirection our way.
I'm glad that Trump is signaling the beginning of the end to this foolishness.
I do not Facebook for this reason. I twitter only to announce publications for my business, read Trump's and Bill Mitchell's tweets.

Great, Helicondelta.
TimeWarner CNN has spawned a few thousand CNN logoed GIFs.
“Welcome to social media! We’re gonna rock your lying, fake news broadcast world.”
Yeah CNN made a huge mistake. Doxing is not illegal, threatening to Dox someone unless they do something IS very illegal.
Oh yeah?
Well CNN is liberal.
Your racist little laws don’t apply to them.
I hope they go for it. Throw in the fact they are trying to corrupt a minor and I think if you do not have enough evidence to prove criminal intent, you surely have enough to justify a civil extortion case.
AT&T needs to work quietly to advance this story so as to drive down the purchase price of Time Warner
Done.
I go to Facebook only to read FR updates when down, search for a really good recipe on a site to which Google directed me. Persons have asked, “why not?”. The answer is “Why bother?”
LOL. Harley Lady and others keep us informed of any pertinent information they might find. Their words are good enough for me and certainly more pleasing in content.
When anyone seeks to replace the Bible and GOD with something he created...that in itself is a bit over the line. The little punk may be smart, but he still lacks in other departments.
It was blackmail, pure and simple, and the threat didn’t disappear when they deleted it. CNN better be hiring some bodyguards for that kid because they just became his protector, like it or not.
Done.
“threaten and destroy someone’s life over.. You’d have to be seriously psychotic”
Psychosis is a detachment from reality.
These people are way beyond psychosis.
They are psychopaths.
See that Hewitt has already sold his soul as he is defending Andrew at CNN.
