One would presume, however, is a police officer's address, personal phone number, Etc public? Is a congressman's personal phone number public? The redundancy should have nothing to do with the sector in which you work.

hate to break it to you, but if CNN publishes the kid's name, they'll get little to no legal repercussions
Mr Queeba:
i love how cnn is trying to tell everyone that they misinterpreted the whole "we reserve the right to reveal his identity!!!" thing when its so clear what they're actually saying
PhantOS:
private investigating is legal in most circumstances and CNN doesn't have any binding non-disclosure law from stopping them
regardless this is forgeted

I don't think it's about making money as much as trying to keep their reputations
CNN forgeted up tho. They probably had a lotta people on their side after Annoying Orange's tweet and now they just ruined it by unintentionally making a MAGA child look like a martyr after private investigating him.
