Quote:

Kaczynski was subsequently accused of blackmailing the user by Julian Assange, Jack Posobiec and Mark Dice while the hashtag, #CNNBlackmail, trended on Twitter.[111] Meanwhile, Madison Malone Kircher of New York Magazine opined that Kaczynski could've avoided the internet vigilantism if he didn't write the line[112] and Vox reporter German Lopez tweeted: "I can't emphasize how bad this is on CNNs part. This is basically 'don't post stuff we don't like or we'll dox you.' Extremely unethical."[113] Kaczynski responded by stating that his line was "misinterpreted" and that the user said that he was not threatened prior to his apology.[114] Kaczynski also responded to the false rumor spread by Donald Trump Jr. that the user is a 15 year old.[113]
