Gawker network was pretty much the source of GG shit (Kotaku with supporting shit flinging from Jezebel and the main site) so it's not at all tangential.

Not like it matters because the Gawker network is content by retards, for retards. If it wasn't the Hogan thing it would have been something else that fucked them in the ass.

During opening statements, Gawker's lawyer talked about how the founder Nick Denton's mom had survived the Nazis as a ploy for sympathy about suppressing speech.

And later, one of their editors was on the stand and said a sex tape wouldn't be newsworthy if the subject was under four years old. He was probably joking and obviously played it off as if he was, but it drew a lot of criticism obviously.

The lawyer spent a absurdly large amount of time trying to figure out who he was dealing with; Hogan or Bollea. Hulk had to explain to him how wrestling personas worked.

Why are the lefties siding with Gawker? They made a habit out of outing gay celebrities on both ends of the political spectrum without their consent. Isn't that considered problematic?

He was joking, but while under oath and having his entire defense placed on "respecting the 1st ammendment" but couldn't turn off his "le epic flippant Mark-Zuckerberg-in-Fincher's-The-Social-Network" attitude and ended up sabotaging his whole case.

Because Gawker peddled leftist bullshit like jezebel. The gay guy they outed is conservative, just like Hogan is.

Actually he won because Gawker had no defense. All they could muster was that it was "newsworthy" and argued that because Hogan talked about his junk before it gave them free reign to post a stolen video of said junk. It didn't help that their side was totally unlikable the whole time, acting smarmy and joking about child porn.

And they knew they were doing it but didn't care because they figured they could grind Hogan down financially by dragging the case out in court.

And they could have too, if it hadn't been for Thiel. Whatever. Denton was a bonafide scumbag as was almost every person that worked for Gawker. I hope he ends up destitute and, at his absolute lowest point, someone releases a humiliating tape of him doing something terrible, and then he dies painfully of testicular cancer.

Posting sex tapes is not a form of free speech, however, maintaining the freedom to share information freely on the internet is far more important than petty protectionism.

But Gawker is full of scumbags, so I can't possibly care beyond that.
>>
Didn't Gawker do the classic libel protection shit? You know, where you say something totally bollocks about somebody to destroy their character and then add "and he has a small penis/one ball/cork screw shaped penis" or whatever?

The reason you do this is because the person who you said it about has to prove, for the court, that they do not have a small penis or whatever. This is because it count as what you're suing for.

>Hulk Hogan rapes babies then eats them... he also has a small penis

You get sued for the rape baby part and that's gotta be proven to not be true as well, but then the small penis part has to be proven not true as well.

As it stands, Hulk has a massive 10" schlong so in ended up backfiring (he was happy to prove he had a massive penis and not a small one like Gawker said).
>>
>>84342074
They didn't have a leg to stand on, 1st amendment wise.

Didn't Gawker literally say they would post a sex tape of a 10 year old girl getting fucked if they thought it was news worthy? Then when he was asked on it he said he would. Out of disbelief the prosecutor followed it up and the guy suddenly realised what he said and started spaghetting.

I generally support the first amendment without question but I don't understand why publishing someone's nude photos/pictures against their will is legal. Even if it is somehow a matter of public importance (politician in a sex scandal, for example) it can be done in a manner which preserves that individuals dignity (blurring out the genitalia, removing the audio, not showing irrelevant bits etc). I'm with Hulk/Thiel on this one. Showing the world a washed up wrestlers cock for laughs and ad clicks isn't "journalism."

I used to read gawker shit and despite what all the rightwingers say about it it's always attracted it's fair share of doubters from the left as well. Just read any comments section from any questionable article and you'll find people calling out the writers for blatant clickbait to shoddy reporting. Anyone with a brain treated it as a tabloid that took itself too seriously. And there were plenty of people on the left that were happy to see it go, particularly because of douches like Nick Denton and AJ Daulerio. Then again I wasn't an avid reader besides, I mostly just used IO9 for movie spoilers and space articles and I'd occasionally get sucked into gawker through an interesting article on occasion. Gizmodo too. Sadly gizmodo is all but dead now since gawker prime gutted it and is wearing its skin now.

Prolonging life sure.

I'm not sure how I'd feel about straight up living forever, since whatever treatment that entails would likely be expensive enough that only the upper class could afford it.

That said, even if it was hypothetically free, you think we have job shortages now? Good luck moving up when the spot you want to move up to is taken by someone who's been doing it for 200 years and is more than happy to stay right where he is.

>Hogan's sex tape is hung out
>Gawker "bravely" refuses order to take down
>Gawker fights lawsuit by mocking it in court saying they would release sex tapes of anyone over 12
>Gawker releases tapes of Hogan saying nigger in retaliation, ruining his career and destroying his legacy

So far so good.

>>84333859
>Peter Thiel

This guy gets involved and gives Hogan big legal funds = the best kike lawyers. Why? Gawker previously hung him out as a fag and berated him.

Basically Gawker thought they could do no wrong and suffer no consequences. Now someone apparently has enough money and a grudge to fund a counter narrative movie painting them as victims.

I didn't know Denton had that much money left.

Peter Thiel admitted he was the one funding the Hogan lawsuit with his own mouth.

I'm guessing the box.
You can clearly see when the ball is in the basket and when the ball is not in the basket. Sally would most likely see that the ball is not in the basket when she returns and look in the box to see if it's there instead.

How are progressives okay with defending Gawker when they outed this guy for being gay?

Does the documentary go over this or what? It seems completely backwards to me.

Peter Thiel funding a documentary when?
>>
>>84345014
Same reason they let the Alt-Right brony guy put up his documentary on the Alt-Right. Netflix is an equal opportunity distributor, controversy makes press, and when shit fails to sail, it gets canned (The Get Down, Sense8, etc)

All the Gawker people were picked up by another shitlib clickbait site overnight. Jezebel or Huffpo. I can't remember now.
>>
>>84348735
Jezebel is just another part of Gawker, like Gizmodo, Kotaku, etc.

There was an auction a month after the trial and Univision bought it up and retired the main "Gawker" site but keeping gizmodo, deadspin, jezebel, kotaku etc.

They also started a new site, The Root, which is a space for "black voices" and consists of quality articles such as "Tips for Dealing With Whypipo" and revisionist takes on anytime a black criminal gets gunned down.

hulk hogan is a character terry bollea plays

ben affleck isn't actually batman

or a better example would be dwayne jonson isn't "the rock" but it serves them to go by that nickname as people recognize them by it. their antics in the ring and character arcs aren't their true personalities or actual history, it's all fake.

How come subsidiaries such as Gizmodo and Kotaku still exist?

I wish they'd take down everything Gawker once owned.

Fuck all those websites.
>>
>>84349607
Because Univision wanted to keep all sites running. They only closed down the main site, Gawker, which was mainly a political mouthpiece/general site. The "Gawker" page was closed due to embarassment and all of the writers now publish under the Gizmodo page.

It's all the same office, just different pages they post to.
