CNN then publicly holds it over his head that they'd be willing to release his identity whenever they'd like. Yeah, sounds like the guy had much of a choice after CNN - in their words - "tracked him down".
You may not agree with it, but it is not blackmail. He could have dealt with the consequences of his actions and not offered a deal to them. What has happened here is a reality check to trolls who think they can spew hate and hide on the internet behind anonymity. He got busted and rather than being exposed HE cut a deal.
