Peter Thiel used his considerable wealth to (legally) bankrupt Gawker Media because they had (legally) published personal details about him. Many, including me, felt at the time that money should not be able to silence the media in a free society. Much was written about it. Jeff Bezos, who is far wealthier than any other person on the planet, has now been irked by the National Enquirer, which has published (legally) details about his personal life. Who do you sympathize with in each of these cases? Can you justify supporting Thiel and National Enquirer? Or Bezos and Gawker?
This was blackmail, not just simply publishing personal information
Are we even following the same story about Bezos? Did you read the emails NE sent him?
OP is just a trolling shitposter
Free society should have media share personal information freely?
The national enquirer is just garbage, this isn't a freedom of the press issue, this is peddling smut
I support both Thiel and Bezos. Revenge porn and blackmail are both not OK, regardless of who is the target.
it’s actually illegal. it has no public interest and is private info. that’s why gawker lost
The Bezos blackmail is pretty bad, but this makes it all worth it IMO: https://thenypost.files.wordpress.com/2019/02/cover-1.jpg?quality=90&strip=all&w=780
You make it sound like Gawker was victim. What's wrong with silencing a perpetrator of crime ? If they were innocent, nobody could have silenced them. Gawker lost the case in court, and it was not about Thiel, it was hulk hogan. Thiel just funded the lawsuit.
