Gawker played with fire, dared Hogan to sue, he called their bluff and fucked them. Gawker posted the lists of every CCW and gun owner in NYC when they were advised not to, some of those people were hiding from abusive family members and had to move. Denton famously said that they wanted to liberate 'common people' from the burden of privacy. There is a ton that can be said about Gawker, none of it good. They fucked up, did not pick their enemies well and are now toast.to use the legal system to destroy journalist outlets
