> Thiel suing Gawker
I think this tends to be papered over too much with "yeah yeah, it's the same thing", but Thiel is not suing Gawker.
Thiel is bankrolling a lawsuit against Gawker related to its publishing videos of someone being naked without their consent, an issue that in the case of Erin Andrews led to a $55 million award and widespread public sympathy (http://abcnews.go.com/US/erin-andrews-jury-set-deliberate-75-million-lawsuit/story?id=37460110 http://abcnews.go.com/US/erin-andrews-jury-set-deliberate-75...).
Whatever you feel about the Hulk Hogan lawsuit against Gawker is wrong, ask yourself if you would you would feel the same way in the Erin Andrews case.
