Seems likes the impression of a self-righteous, wealthy industrialist who is trying to shutdown speech he dislikes. I mean, if you're pulling a gilded-age industrialist stunt at least go out and build your own media outlet. Keep speech plural. No, I don't feel like I need to justify whether I read Gawker or not; or whether I agree with Gawker as a publication or not. If you don't like one article go and take it down if you got legal standing. Why go nuclear? PS. I know little about P. Thiel and his political and social stances. The impression I got of him are from headlines like: "Billionaire investor Peter Thiel's plan to pay college students to drop out..." and "Libertarian Island: A billionaire's utopia". And now "Billionaire Peter Thiel funded Hulk Hogan lawsuit to take down Gawker"... Is there a decent biography out there worth reading?
