I’d rather not speak Ill of the dead… So I’ll be quiet.

Nah, publishing revenge porn of someone in direct defiance of court orders, multiple times, should be enough to get that done, it’s a shame that Thiel’s money was needed when it should have come free with the justice system.
Thiel is a piece of shit and an actual lunatic super villain but he was in the right on that one.
Honestly, I feel like this is one of the few places “both sides are bad” works. Gawker was a bunch of fucking creeps and also incredibly fucking stupid, but that doesn’t make Thiel or Hogan any less of fucking monsters.
In a vacuum, Thiel was on the right side. But yeah, fuck em all, “let them fight.”
Agreed but with the caveat that Thiel’s money should not have been able to influence it one way or another. It should have been a criminal case resulting in end of business license.
Yeah exactly, Thiel’s opinion and power should not have been factors but Gawker should not have existed by that point in the first place so karma and all that.
2 abuses of power cancelled eachother out.
thiel was the sole reason he even won the lawsuit, which means terry dint have much of a case agains thim in the first place.
Publishing pornography of someone without their consent is a crime.
The justice system sided with Hogan in the end and unless you’re alleging bribery that’s not a matter of who paid, but that the trial was brought to its conclusion instead of settling out of court because the multinational publishing corporation won the money fight, something enabled by Thiel’s money, but also something that shouldn’t have been necessary in the first place.
