On one hand. Gawker sucks, and no one should have their pic leake. So certainly Hulk has a right to body slam Denton and put him in a chuckhold.. On the other hand the funder of the lawsuit, Peter Thiel funds the alt right. As you all know Alt righties really just need to be gulaged.

That it was leaked by a media organization first, rather than to the public first before being brought to attention by the media. That it was given to gawker by someone who admitted on tape they were thinking about using the tape to blackmail hogan. That the writing accompanying the video, further gawker articles, and years worth of tweets by gawker employees provide evidence that they leaked it for the specific purpose of mocking him. That gawker contributers ongoing jokes and coverage made them more directly involved in it damaging his reputation than any news organization has been for any other celebrity sex tape leak in history. That their response to a judge's order to remove the video was to refuse and draw further attention to the video.

I kinda agree really.

There's potentially chilling effects to this but it's kinda unclear to me at least (I'm not a lawyer!!) if what Gawker did regarding the sex tape or outing Thiel was really "in the public interest" so to speak

Hogan had no right to have his privacy violated, so Denton deserves to be ruined., While the reason Thiel sued Gawker was because they kept printing poo poo about how the so called Libertarian was doing business with the NSA. In all seriousness the guy issomeone who read Crime and Punishment and thought that Pyotor Petrovich Luzhin was someone to emulate.

Thiel probably in the long run has done the opposite to what he intended, enough mediaorgs think his helping out the Hulkster was appalling so now he is going to have a dozen media orgs breathing down his neck. Even the artificial island he's building won't prevent them from getting to him.

Yeah that has to be the dumbest use of the word hack ever. Its nearly as bad as Niall Ferguson using "killer apps". Really any inappropriate use of tech jargon should get you sent to a year in a gulag for misusing language in such a ludicrous way.
