Peter Thiel is an asshole! Fuck that guy! But he doesn’t deserve the credit for taking gawker down, his suit was a wash except the judge ordered them to take down the sex tape that they had leaked. And then they refused to do that. And you know what, I’m not going to weep over losing them. They were integral to incubating the culture of paparazzi, and I have no sympathy for people that leak private videos like that. Hell, Thiel was pretty justified to sue them. He’s a rich asshole and really I don’t care what happens to him, but Gawker delighted in outing people in ex: popular memes, and that could easily get someone killed. I’m just disappointed they didn’t get jail time for their shit.
