Gawker is a "source of information" like chlamydia is to the common cold. Nothing is lost in the destruction of a source of bile about individuals and their private lives, it was zero-information content in the first place. To posit Gawker as a "worthwhile source" indicates a lack of critical thinking to begin with. Or, I reject one of your primary premises and think you're drawing a connection to "information being stifled" that is tenuous at best given the nature of the information and the behavior of Gawker as an organization. I also disagree with the implied slippery slope on the grounds that the content being "stifled" was bile about individuals in their personal lives and devoid of artistic, journalistic, or any other praise or protection. tldr: Fuck Gawker.
