>freedom of speech isn't freedom from consequences
Gawker is now having to deal with the consequences of their actions, and liberal are crying.
I love when liberals get a taste of their own medicine.
Thank you based Thiel and Hulk.

>>75184659
Crimelord like $oros.
Daily reminder that #gamergate was smoke and mirrors to cover the shekelshoah. This wouldn't have killed Gawker by itself, but they offended a gentleman who bankrolled the Hulkster to get some real lawyers to take on their army of bullshit lawyers.
Alt-right stomping Dems and RINOs' guts out will act as a wakeup call, bringing conservative celebrities "out of the closet" and quieting the guns of people who ambush anyone who dissents.
>>75184659
Trump could buy them and turn the place into an alt-right outlet.
>>75183649
nice pay for view site, faggot.
>>75184924
Gawker is too obviously retarded for a turbokike like Soros
So how does Hulk Hogan get his money after the appeal process is settled? Is Gawker Media forced to declare bankruptcy and liquidate their assets after it's clear no one wants to buy their shitty company? Or does Hulk Hogan somehow become the majority shareholder and now own Gawker (the more hilarious option)?
What a fucking boss ass power move by Thiel. Seriously, this is Count of Monte Cristo tier revenge.
To wait for the right opportunity, to sit by for almost a decade while you watch them tear apart other lives, and then to be ready to take the kill shot when it's available. Just fucking masterful man.
Also, the people bitching about free speech are dumb as fuck. Rich and powerful, and non profit orgs have always funded lawsuits they felt were either a) winnable or b) for a good cause. Thiel didn't force Gawker to perpetually cross the line, Thiel just made sure they were held accountable for it.
>>75185693
Takes over their then worthless company and remaining punitive damages are paid in community service where Denton literally becomes the Hulkster's butler.
>>75184365
You are drastically understating just how fucking stupidly gawker behaved during this.

Truly one of the greatest poets of our time
Thiel is fighting the good fight. Fuck Gawker, fuck Nick Denton and his sjw-liar journalists.
Stupid question, but can they come up with this money or are they bankrupt now?
>>75189367
It'd be close. Company valued around 250-300 mil, but that has prolly plummeted with recent news. And denton sold around a 30% minority stake just to fund this defense.
He'll have to sell and give the money to Hogan. How much of the 140 denton can get is anyone's guess. Prolly ends with a bankruptcy.
>>75188233
Don't work yourself into a shoot, jabroni.
>what Thiel is doing is dangerous
This is my favorite new SJW bit. What he's doing is perfectly legal for very good reasons. What he's doing is only dangerous to dishonest, dangerous journalists. Those real journalists who have to clear sources with editor, who have to attempt to reach someone for comment before posting a hit piece, whose columns are ran by an editor and legal before posting...those real journalists are totally fine.
>>75191757
Not only is this totally fine for them, I think this may actually be great for them. The Gawker incident is something of a touchstone, why news organizations need to take their time to get stories right with clear sources and in touch editors.
>>75187203

Yes, and when you make mistakes you take measures to ensure you never make them again.

>>75197203
>White male
>Said racist stuff in private
>Was an old cultural icon in Entertainment Wrestling
That's why they tried it. Luckily, the courts have said it's not allowed. The ones that are saying it's a First Amendment issue are trying to cover up the fact that Gawker fucked up royally and essentially told the Judicial System to bugger off when they were told to remove the video.
>>75197796
>>75196634
So is this slimy cunt going to get done for perjury too?
Please say yes
>>75197871
Don't think so, but I remember somewhere that AJ Daulerio (the guy who made the 4 year old porn quip) mentioned he was still paying off his student loans ($27,000 or so). In the punitive charges awarded to Hogan (total of $25 million), $15 mil is Gawker's responsibility, Denton is liable for $10 mil and Daulerio is responsible for $100K. Fucker's going to have that as a stain on him for the rest of his life, and hopefully he'll never get out of that debt as anyone who looks him up will have records to his asshattery in court.
>>75198838
Well he's certainly never getting a job in media ever again.
>>75196101
>no words
When I was listening to this live, I literally fell out of my chair. With that one fucking line he obliterated his own defense. If I were Denton, I'd have to be restrained from killing this man.
>>75199329
Probably would have been cheaper to kill him right there, than to continue on with that trial.
>>75199097
>never a job in media
He's not getting a job anywhere unless he personally knows the people hiring him. And even then, he's not getting a job with any responsibility. He single handedly lost Gawker more than their net worth.

>>75181768
If you haven't already you should read the Thiel articles from Gawker. They are extremely butthurt, don't worry about giving them clicks because they'll be defunct soon.
Also in my opinion, he knew he was being taped
>>75185022

It was all part of Hulk's plan to bankrupt Gawker and expose SJW hypocrisy.
And he executed it perfectly.
>>75203834
Yeah, I've read the comments. the tears are delicious. They're basically calling Thiel a Nazi.
>>75181768

Just because you get an appeal doesn't exempt you from state law. Gawker is still required to pay the award. The only difference is it's held by the courts until it's cleared.

Thiel's book: zero to one
Was pretty good insight on startup's, his journey creating paypal and just general wisdom.
I also enjoy what he's doing with fresh out of high school entrepreneur's. Funding and guiding them instead of them spending 4 years and who knows how much money at high end universities.
From what he said, most tech investments are successful 1/30. So it's interesting that he's making early investments on these kids scouting and possibly gaining a large portion of their ideas for upfront cash/knowledge from someone who has done it all.
The CBC comments section seems to be full of redpilled people now. Not sure about all issues.
But they're supportive of Trump & nationalism, against Islam quite heavily, and supporting hogan like mofos right now.

2017 maybe
I can definitely see a shift in things already though. Early this year it became increasingly obvious that the majority don't support SJW crazy bullshit after all. Since then the SJW's have been progressively digging themselves into deeper holes and it's getting more and more acceptable to actually call them out on their bullshit and hypocrisy.
I think what's happening in 2016 is setting the stage for 2017. We won't see right-wing parties until violent revolution, but we will see a lot more hypocrisy and the foundations to justify that revolution in the coming year.

The Hulkster running wild over these guys is probably the most symbolic way to begin the resurgence of Western civilization.

>thinking any federal court will overturn the ruling
a celebrity sex tape is not newsworthy, it is obscenity. on top of that the retards violated a court order and joked about child porn during court hearings. there isn't a court in the world outside the ninth circuit that would rule in favor of them.
they can try to take it the supreme court but i doubt they'd even bother hearing it.
How is posting a sextape not free speech? Does this mean 4chan can be shut down if another leak happens?

I think many people are regretting casting a vote for such an idiot when all we really wanted was for Harper the rein in the creepy stuff that was being hinted at.
I'm a union man and a gun owner. I had no problems voting conservative since 2006. But some of the vibes being put out by Harper's government were freaking me the fuck out.
I voted for pterodactyl Tom instead, so you can't blame me.

you cannot record someone where there is a reasonable expectation of privacy without their consent
say, if a consenting man and woman are fucking in a hotel room with a locked door
you can't just film them through the keyhole, because you've violated their privacy

Because the media is the most powerful political wing of this country and they have near total control over it.

Canada's never been sweden-tier, that's for sure.
My mother's one of those quintessential liberal voters, and I was talking with her yesterday where she confided that she regrets voting for Trudeau because she feels like he really isn't doing anything at all to help Canada
She specifically cited seeing him dancing around in a turban as one of the things that made her feel that way.
White Canadians look at Trudeau, and they see a guy who's helping everyone but the white people. Who's doing nothing but PR stunts and mocking white families, and white values. Nobody over the age of 30 likes these antics - all ye olde liberal voters are starting to go, "the hell is this bullshit?" as the liberal parties go from extreme left-wing to just flat out insane left-wing.
That "progressive march" the leftists love, is moving so fast it's leaving most of their white supporters in the dust scratching their heads at what's going on.
Liberal parties are soon going to be drawing most of their support exclusively from naive/young/brainwashed whites, and shitskins.
>>75211762
video of a crime is different than video of two people fucking
one is newsworthy, the other isn't
>>75211394
I would think that this sets a precedent for anyone that has had pornographic materials of themselves posted without their permission, fuccboi.
>>75211762
>le gawker "freedom of expression" defense
The video was viewed by a judge who ruled they had no right to distribute it, and ordered them to stop. Non-consenting porn is a crime and it holds none of the protections of covering current events. Fucking shysters will deny every possible right to those underneath them, but will cry at every moment when they can't get what they want free of consequences. Throw them all down the well.
>>75211979
Who decides what is newsworthy? What if it is two politicians?
>>75211762
Imagine yourself in that situation. Try to wrap your lizard brain around the concept of empathy. If someone did that to me, I would do everything in my power to destroy them.

If Theil used the same money to go after fappening leakers, would the same outlets be upset?
Freedom of speech isn't freedom from consequences :^)
It seems like Thiel dropped 10 million burgerdollars to kill Gawker. Aside from Hogan, he is funding every fucking lawsuit that seems to have a credible case on Gawker.
The cucks are going down, anyone who feels the need to countersignal against Thiel because he is a homo is just an edgy retard.
>>75212126
the public desides
if the video does not contain evidence of a crime and there is a general expectation of privacy, then its not fucking newsworthy, even if the subjects are public figures.
>>75211117
I voted conservative last election in the hopes of helping to secure a minority government.
I don't really care so much whether it's a left or right wing party in power, so long as - certainly right now - neither of them are able to actually pass anything. Particularly as any time these scumbags do pass a law, it's always to the detriment of actual citizens.
>all this shit since the new year rolled round
>we're not even at the half way mark yet
This shit just makes me excited to see what shit goes down next
>>75212418
Including setting precedent that would help future victims.
>>75212440
Does that include the police? Should they be protected by an expectation of privacy? Because that's not theoretical, misbehavior by authorities is hidden using laws that were intended for controversies like these.
The amount of satisfaction Thiel must be getting out of this is bountiful.
The best part of being a billionaire is being able to do shit like this.
>>75212556
Why is hiding naughty bits more important than checking overreaches by the authorities?
>>75212504
I didn't expect a majority either. My riding is always a close call between Fin Donnelly and whoever the conservative is and Fin is a fairly good guy, so I don't mind that so much.
>>75212691
This has nothing to do with that and you know it.
>>75212860
The reason why Gawker was sued was the blatant disregard of a court order to take down that video. This isn't an issue about freedom of speech or the right to know about what happened.
>>75195470
The idea of Peter Thiel sitting down with Hulk Fucking Hogan and explaining their strategy so they can take out Gawker together just fills me with such happiness.
>Listen please, Mr. Hulk, it's very important that this goes down without a hitch.
>WWWWHATEVER YOU SAY BRRRROTHER!
>>75212693
At this point I think Thiel deserves to send a video of just him and Hulk dancing in a room as money rains down on em to Denton
Hell I wouldn't even be surprised if the likes of Vince McMahon weren't secretly throwing in Hulkster funds as well
>>75204565

>A new bill passed last week in Illinois would make it a felony to secretly tape any “private conversations," with steeper punishments for those surreptitiously recording the police.

>>75212860
You are acting like posting sexual material online is somehow acceptable. The Hulkster and the woman in the video were embarrassed for no reason other than to make money.
How would you feel if any publisher posted this kind of content of anyone in your family? Your parents, siblings or children?
In Canada, it's illegal to post this stuff without the explicit permission of the parties involved.
You cannot justify publishing pornographic content of two consenting adults, especially for a profit, without their permission... Let alone for a monetary gain without compensation.
Your argument is shit. These are two completely different things.
>>75181768
What Thiel is doing is despicable but legal.

I'm surprised that nobody on the left is crying about Valleywag outing Thiel; usually they're all over homophobic shit.
