thiel couldn't nail them when they wrote about him. it was in bad taste, but totally defensible. they crossed the line when they posted a private sex tape without consent. if you can defend that, you can defend revenge porn (that is, you can't).

gawker played themselves.

you can write nasty things about Thiel but remember rule #1: don't play yourself.
