A comment on Gawker Files for Bankruptcy, Will Be Put Up for Auction. Parent comment
There is no way Hogan wasn't a public figure. viz him talking to Howard Stern about his sex life.
Gawker had, under previous First Amendment jurisprudence, the right to post that tape. Most free speech lawyers assume it will be reversed on appeal.
This is completely separate from whether they should have posted that tape.
