The article links to a story about Free Basics, specifically the sentence:
And the whole thrust of his company’s strategy is to persuade billions of future users that Facebook is the only bit of the internet they really need.
I think mentioning Thiel is valid, I outright disagree with what Gawker did, but Thiel then hid behind a different and unrelated lawsuit to enact his revenge, both Zuckerberg and Thiel have the money to oppress those that can't match the size of their wallets and they're doing so, the comparison is fair.
- labster 10y agoOne sentence with a tangential reference. Whoop-dee-doo. This is not good for an article about how Facebook is closing the web. The print edition won't even include a link due to technical reasons. The comparison to Thiel may be fair if a comparison was made in the article. Instead we get this: Interestingly, Thiel is also a member of Facebook’s board of directors. Super-convincing. Actually, parent post is far more convincing than the article, which seems to think that illegal speech somehow deserves first amendment protection.
- Melk 10y agoScroll down. There is an entire paragraph about Thiel.
