Just a friendly reminder, Gawker did not out Thiel. He had a public profile on Friendster that clearly described him as interested in men. Gawker's editor at the time remarked that people like him thought the web was this super ultra secret bat cave, and that if you posted something there it wasn't really public.
- refurb 9y agoYou see no difference between someone sharing something on a social platform versus having that information plastered across the nation?

- TheAdamAndChe 9y agoIf I post on my Facebook that I am married, I don't consider it doxxing if someone else posts about that. Social media should be considered social and public.
