Gawker got sued for their role in the sexual exploitation of an individual (hosting and publishing a non-consensual sex tape). Peter Thiel provided financial support for the victims of Gawker's abuse to pursue legal recourse. Many people believe his motivations for this were due to his own previous exploitation by the organization. The only dystopian thing about the Gawker case is that it took the benevolence of a rich person supporting the lawsuit to get justice. In a better system, Gawker would have been successfully sued without needing extra financial backing to pay for expensive lawyers.
