Peter Theil's actions are pretty questionable without your incredible attempts to paint gawker as anything besides a trashy, disingenuous tabloid. I've heard other parts of the company were decent but their bread and butter was the trashy stuff. He can still be wrong to have funded their destruction even if they suck too.
- thecleaner 7y agoAnd what about Palantir and its spy software ? Guy also supported Trump. Seems to be nothing but cashing in on the nationalism wave.
- tozeur 7y agoSpy software? You should actually go to their website and inform yourself of their primary software offerings.
- phaus 7y agoPeople need to stop thinking everything is about picking between 2 teams. Its quite possible to dislike Theil and Gawker at the same time. Its also possible to like some things that each does while disliking other things that they do.
- telltruth 7y agoPretty much every journalist outlet is trashy these days, even NYT. That’s not the point. The Gawker’s article on him was expose which he couldn’t stomach. This is the guy who paints himself as torch bearer of ultra-freedom and libertarian but harbors tendencies of Pharos that includes beefing up authorities with tech to control its citizens. His actions are much more than “questionable”.
- traderjane 7y agoGawkers greatest offense was publishing the truth, not that they lied about Peter Thiel, or gossiped too much about...?
- vackosar 7y agoSo if we wanted to stop the trashy stuff part, how he should have proceeded?
