>>84536994
information wants to be free

>>84537115
Well information should get a job

The irony is that the people screaming "Gawker should be able to do any unspeakably cruel or evil thing because of free speech" are the same cunts and shitfaces that believe in using any and all means necessary to silence ALL conservative voices, under the "no platforming" censorship tactic along with branding ANYTHING that defies the liberal narrative (like Muslims murdering gays and raping women and children) as hate speech.

Does the documentary mention Gamergate? Or do they dance around that shitstorm to avoid pointing out how GG cost Gawker several million dollars in advertisement money and set the stage for everyone cheering Hogan/Theil's lawsuit?

Why don't you watch it? Are you afraid?

>>84538534
Currently on vacation and with my only source of internet being a hotspot device with a fixed data plan I don't want to waste on a crappy "Gawker is a good boy, they diddu nutting" documentary

>>84538659
Post a timestamped pic of you in your vacation locale, liar.

Wasn't the whole issue that Hogan never consented to be filmed in the first place?

>>84536994
>stealing video
They didn't steal it they bought it from someone else that acquired it

>>84536994
No video was stolen, it was anonymously given to Gawker who went public with it because a famous celebrity breaking his marriage vows with another married woman is obviously news.

>>84538740
>that acquired it
illegally

>>84538709
Yes. He didn't know he was being filmed.

>>84538840
Yes, and Gawker knew it was stolen. Then the refused to take it down. Then they took down the video and instead posted a link to it hosted somewhere else.

It is definitely news. Hosting the stolen video online is illegal.

This is the most disgusting doc made because you know this is the same type of faggot who wants people to face legal action for saying stuff like "faggot" on the internet. Nick Deanton deserved everything that happened to him and Im glad Shekelshoah ended with fucking hulk hogan and Peter Theil tag teaming his ass into bankruptcy

>>84538709
yes. Hogan was filmed without his knowledge, then someone gave that video to gawker and he asked them to take it down and they refused. Only the most die hard left wing political hack could actually have the balls to defend gawker with the "they dindu nuffin!" line

If you have a problem with this but not with with wikileaks you're a cuck

>>84538952
There's a huge fucking difference between leaking highly illegal activity by entire nations and huge political parties and someone's sex tape.

>>84539043
WikiLeaks never leaked anything that was illegal

>>84538952

difference is there is a "right to know" thing. as in, if the government is doing something illegal and an insider leakes info of this vs some random guys personal sex life that isnt illegal at all. Youre being a devil advocate retard

>>84536994
Gawker drowned in hulk cum and that's the way it should be. Anyone who thinks different is a faggot.

I love it. You killed all your credibility for years and years and now you want to act like you're fucking Robin Hood to get it back. You were in your death throes because of online & alternative media, you resorted to desperate, unethical clickbait to stay afloat and it killed you.

I can't stop laughing. Go fuck yourselves Gawker.

>>84537115
Does information expext us to pay for its transition?

So you're ok with right wing nutjobs using their money to suppress journalism?

>>84540724
>haha beat my strawman argument

Gawker ignored a takedown request, then acted like they were in the right. They also said they would publish a child sex tape as long as they were older than 4.

They fucked themselves

>>84536994
I feel like the people who defend Gawker in this case were probably completely against the Fappening leaks (as anyone would be as far as the law goes, though I'm not complaining). Is there any difference really, except that the Hogan tape hurt more people and hurt them more badly?

>Hulk Hogan asks you to take down an article about him
>Haha fuck off free speech you'll have to sue us which you can't afford

>Conde Nast asks them to take down an article about them
>Yes sir! Thank you sir! Anything else we can do for you!

The moral is never fuck with someone who has more money than you.

so who sold the video to gawker? he is the one that should be in jail

Q. Well, can you imagine a situation where a celebrity sex tape would not be newsworthy?

A. If they were a child.

Q. Under what age?

A. Four.


reminder gawker is our guys

As a former Democrat I learned something very important during the election.

The left will excuse any form of lying, corruption and even violence as long as it benefits their side. They are above the law in their own eyes. They not only practice deceit they encourage it.

>>84540124

>actually being so retarded that you compare Snowden to Gawker leaking a celebrity sex tape

unironcially take a step back from the computer and contemplate your life for about 30 minutes.

>>84541000
That's one of the only situations where it WOULD be newsworthy.

>>84536994
>Brian Knappenberger confuses "free speech" with stealing video and hosting it
That's not the point. Rich people are buying the media. That's what this documentary is all about. Gawker is guilty, but shouldn't get closed for it.

>>84541000
>I mean, anyone would know that I was joking when I said that

Right, because when I'm under oath and giving a deposition in a multi million dollar lawsuit that is when I want to test out my new comedy material.

>>84541000
According to Gawker:

>Jennifer Lawrence nudes are literally rape. Don't even look at them you sick rapists (said because she's a woman)

>Hulk Hogan sex take is pure entertainment. Let's all have a look! (Said because he's a man)

I'm happy this ridiculous video has been produced. It gives us all a chance to talk about the hypocrisy of the left

>>84541000
... so evidence of a celebrity under the age of four being raped wouldn't be newsworthy?

>>84541079
So what should have happened to them?

>>84541079
Someone needs to make an example of Gawker, and they deserve to be closed.

>>84541079
>Gawker shouldn't be closed for unethical and illegal actions

Gawker was straight up trash clickbait.

They literally ran a story about "I got a tampon stuck" - a thread on williamsboard

>>84541349
I like The Daily Wire, myself.

>Gawker cant even afford to pay for their crimes

>>84540328
Is gawker and jezebel sister companies or something?

>>84541382
>>84541430
>want to take a guess at why Snowden is still on the run
because he is a victim of stronger powers just like Gawker
the state says Snowedn is guilty and the state in the shape of a judge said that gawker was in the wrong

and guess who calls Snowden a traitor? Right wingers, the same people that went against Gawker. What a coincidence.

>>84541464

Yes, gawker was the main site and jezebel a spinoff

Gizmodo was part of gawker too

>>84541464
Yes. Both owned by Gawker Media. As well as Gizmodo and Kotaku.

>>84541480
>and guess who calls Snowden a traitor? Right wingers, the same people that went against Gawker. What a coincidence.

Yeah there is zero chance anyone is pro-snowden and anti-gawker

Just no way that could happen I and would know because I can easily understand what someone truly believes, even if they only type a single sentence.

>>84541484
Somebody should edit the picture then because it comes off as comparing two different websites for no reason. It's important context to consider.

>>84541532
Anyone who is actually educated on this topic would know they are related, unlike you.

>>84541294
10/10 argument with 0 flaws, would read again

Just like how murdering a child and stealing their candy is the same thing as shooting a man who's about to murder a child

>>84541480

>making up more shit to cover up your retarded comparison

everyone who hates gawker is the type of person who loves snowden, that the original "lol hypocites" example you made faggot. You are so fucking stupid you have no idea what your own point is. Leaking a celebrity sex tape, one in which the celebrity in question wasnt even aware they were being filmed, isnt free speech. Hopefully you get doxxed and someone post your social security number online because its free speech. Stop being a fucking idiot just because Gawker got into a pissing contest and lost. Their whole career is them bullying everyone since they had more money, then they ran into someone more stronger than them and got fucked. Now all you can do is cry. eat shit faggot, you lost and theres nothing you can do about it lol
