Is there some method of 'destruction' that isn't reported on here, other than Peter Thiel financing Hulk Hogan's lawsuit? I think you are going to be hard-pressed to find people that think Gawker should be able to publish a 'sex tape', ignore a court order to take it down, because it's 'journalism'.

- saint_fiasco 10y agoShould Gawker be able to publish a 'sex tape', ignore a court order to take it down, then pay a slightly higher insurance premium which to them is just 'cost of doing business' at this point, just because they are 'journalists'?
- zardgiv 10y agoI don't know, should they? What if they had a billionaire secretly funding them ;-)
- Natsu 10y agoHogan is the only one who could approve that, as its arguably against his interests. So if you're going after someone for vengeance here, it should be him.
