Hanassholesolo, CNN, and internet anonymity Questions

in #steemit7 years ago

Hanasshole solo was by all accounts an actual racist. I do support his right to free speech and I am a Trump supporter. However, I do not stand for antisemitism or actual racism. I believe all people were endowed by their CREATOR with certain unalienable rights. With that being said does anyone else find it appalling that CNN was able to obtain the identity of this individual and that they threatened him? How did they get his identity? How can this be avoided? Is Reddit at fault? And can steemit identities be discovered? If Steemit identities can be discovered does anyone know of any alternatives?
