Because you need a team of lawyers to know that you shouldn't leak a sextape on your site? Thiel didn't need a team of lawyers to scrutinize every article too, the sextape case was big enough he could know it by himself. The press shouldn't have a free pass to publish every salacious article, and should face the consequences of its actions. Great to see the press establishment defending its cast with such fallacious arguments.
