Are people still going on about how Thiel taking down Gawker is some chilling story about the elite silencing journalists? First they published a story of debatable newsworthiness: Hulk Hogan having sex on tape. When they were ordered by a judge to take down the story, they stood defiant (the famous "A judge told us to take down our Hulk Hogan sex tape post. We won't." post: https://twitter.com/gawker/status/327537977922318337?lang=en https://twitter.com/gawker/status/327537977922318337?lang=en). Then someone came along who actually had the resources to see the whole thing play out in court (a funny reversal of the old "this giant corporation has the money to outlast any court case, don't bother Mr. Little Guy"), they rightfully lost, and STILL the bitching continues over something that could have been prevented entirely if Gawker had simply listened to that judge's orders. They're not martyrs, they're idiots.
