this is incorrect you're mixing several separate facts into one false narrative
gawker repeatedly offered to settle with hogan, but for some strange reason* hogan refused to and kept appealing and moving venues. during these appeals and negotiations a judge required gawker take the video down which they did. the judge then also required gawker take the post (ascii text) down as well, which they refused to do.
* it turned out hogan was just a front for thiel and taking down the video was not really the goal, bankrupting the parent company of valleywag was.

- Linosaurus 4y agoThey refused to remove a text article describing the video. From your link: "A lawful order from a circuit court judge is a serious thing. While we vehemently disagree with Campbell's order with respect to the video itself, we have chosen to take it down pending our appeal. But the portion of the order compelling us to remove the entirety of Daulerio's post—his words, his speech—is grossly unconstitutional. We won't take it down"
