"Err, yes. Thiel was completely out of order backing legal suits in order to achieve a "political" end."
Would you say the same thing about the American Civil Liberties Union, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the National Organization of Woman, and Lambda Legal -- all of whom have litigated to achieve political ends.
- lifeisstillgood 10y agoThere is a vast vast difference between secretly and openly backing legal action. If thiel had been in the court with a "privacy for billionaires" banner then I would not nearly be so concerned. But it was mere accident - years of litigation without any indication he was bank rolling this stuff, the courts did not know - that is unacceptable. Courts must know this stuff And political is not quite the right term - this seems way more personal and vindictive
