DIRECTIVE 236: Promote pro-social values

Spiderjelly posted:

Did you miss the part where gawker declared bankruptcy? He ain't getting poo poo.

quote:

In response, Gawker filed for Chapter 11, triggering a bankruptcy auction. POLITICO has learned that Ziff Davis, the owner of PC Mag, has agreed to an opening bid in the $90 million to $100 million range and other bids are expected.

Though it's filing for bankruptcy, Gawker has no plans to cease its operations. The company will continue to operate as normal while the bankruptcy process proceeds and it appeals the Hogan judgment.

The money for the sale will be put in escrow while Gawker appeals the Hogan case. If the $140.1 million judgment is upheld on appeal, then the money held in escrow will go to Hogan. If the judgment is overturned on appeal, then the money held in escrow will be returned to Denton and the company's other shareholders.

It's not a secret. A bad person broke the law by invading the privacy of another bad person and a third bad person used the opportunity to get back at the first. Everything is fine

Except the Hulkster, who dropped too many n-bombs but didn't have the courage to go all out and get a job at Takimag.

Eh, I'm not sure anything can beat Peter Bright on Ars Technica wading into the comments of the article when the initial verdict came down to say well actually, Gawker did nothing wrong because Bulk Hogan having sex is in fact something the public has the right to know about.

agreed, i hope Peter Thiel declares bankruptcy next. at least Hulk Hogan had a good legal reason to sue the poo poo out of Gawker, Thiel is just a whiny baby who wants to be worshiped as a god

at the same time, i'm still glad Gawker's gone, because their list of idiotic and awful deeds is very long

Nowadays, you can do anything that you want; anal, oral, fisting, but you need to be wearing gloves, condoms, protection.
Disagreeing with or attacking Gawker makes you a racist, sexist piece of poo poo. Hope you all loving die, shitlords.

You've rightfully recognized the inequality here but have taken it to the wrong conclusion: the problem isn't that billionaires can shut down entire dumb gossip publications out of spite (and violating people's rights, etc.), it's that only billionaires can shut down entire dumb gossip publications out of spite (and violating people's rights, etc.).

I'm sympathetic to Hogan's case but I am wondering what made this different from other celebrity sex tape leaks exactly?
