None. Some subreddits banned Gawker, not for "reporting about reddit protecting" anyone, which they didn't, but for posting what was then only his suspected real name and encouraging an internet-wide witch hunt which resulted in death threats, the man in question being fired and his marriage ending, etc. You might claim that that's what he deserves for moderating subreddits whose content you don't like (I'd disagree), but it could easily have been a case of mistaken identity and an innocent man's life would have been ruined. That's why witch hunts are bad, and that's why Gawker was banned from those subreddits whose moderators felt, as I do, that encouraging that kind of behaviour is immensely irresponsible and should not be tolerated.
