CNN is contacting and doxxing every individual brand/company whose ads happen to appear on the youtube channel. Isn't this a form of anti-competitive abuse of market position?

- olliej 9y agoout of curiosity how do you dox a public brand with a PR number and public address? Don't conflate publishing individual's private information with posting public relationships. It is grossly unfair to the victims of actual doxxing and subsequent harassment to claim that this is equivalent.
- matthewmacleod 9y agoThis is a ridiculous misuse of the term “doxxing”, which is stupid enough to begin with.
- ceejayoz 9y ago> Isn't this a form of anti-competitive abuse of market position? No, for the same reasons Gordon Ramsay isn't "competing" with children making mud pies in the back yard.
- drak0n1c 9y agoRegardless of how tiny or slimy the little guy is, or how much they "punch up" at their mainstream competition -- isn't "punching down" effectively stooping to their level? You're either admitting you also engage in activism, or you're admitting to hard knock competitive practices. I did not mean to imply it was illegal, or even immoral. But their sharing the same industry is facet of the story that many commenters seem to be glossing over.
- ceejayoz 9y agoStill no. Groups like Infowars have a newsworthy impact on the political climate, and deserve coverage by news organizations. It's not about activism - the intersection of advertising and extremist content on places like YouTube is a very legitimate subject for journalism, if you ask me.
