>Brian Knappenberger confuses "free speech" with stealing video and hosting it
How the fuck can anyone defend Gawker? This was hilarious to watch.
>B-but I can say or do anything I want without any consequences!
>B-because 1st amendment
No, that's not how things work in real life.

information wants to be free
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?
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
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?
>stealing video
They didn't steal it they bought it from someone else that acquired it
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.
>that acquired it
illegally
Yes. He didn't know he was being filmed.
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
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
There's a huge fucking difference between leaking highly illegal activity by entire nations and huge political parties and someone's sex tape.
WikiLeaks never leaked anything that was illegal
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
Gawker drowned in hulk cum and that's the way it should be. Anyone who thinks different is a faggot.

>I WAS JUST PRETENDING TO BE RETARDED
I never watched it. I read the synopsis which makes Gawker out to be wikileaks. Fuck this documentary and fuck those faggots at gawker
-t.gawker liberal extremist
>torrenting a movie is punishable by up to five years in prison, a fact proudly touted by the RIAA's website
>Gawker uploading people's sex tapes is "free speech"
Ah yes, the "progressive" and "liberal" media
Hulk Hogan isn't some random guy, he's a celebrity role model who was actually a racist adulterer scumbag.
You don't support media vultures profiting off someone's stolen sex tape? What you, some kind of RACIST NAZI KU KLUX KLAN DRUMPF SUPPORTER?
t. people that wanted Snowden dead
>crime is okay if it's against someone i don't like
t. modern liberal
you don't have the right to someone's sex life, that would be #slutshaming if you idiots were at least consistent
Reminder that all the porn sites that were hit with takedown notices complied
Gawker is literally below porn sites
...
t. someone that read Hillary's private mails
Hulk is a private citizen
What if he works for cnn?
>media crocodile tears
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.
Does information expext us to pay for its transition?
So you're ok with right wing nutjobs using their money to suppress journalism?
>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
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.
>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.
That's one of the only situations where it WOULD be newsworthy.
>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.
>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.
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
... so evidence of a celebrity under the age of four being raped wouldn't be newsworthy?
So what should have happened to them?
Someone needs to make an example of Gawker, and they deserve to be closed.
>Gawker shouldn't be closed for unethical and illegal actions
I am REALLY being made to think right now
>Gawker is guilty, but shouldn't get closed for it.
>shouldn't get closed
Then maybe then shouldnt have been so fucking stupid that they managed to get hit with 140 mil in punative damages
Also gawker was a trash tabloid site and nothing of value has been lost
they both released private information
your meme reasons because it's okay to leak one but not the other are meaningless
maybe i will illegally host this documentary because its "free speech"
t. Breibart subscriber
reminder that porn sites are smarter than Gawker
>hes doubling down on his retarded comparrison
he dickhead, even if you are right (you arent) want to take a guess at why Snowden is still on the run and not living in the USA anymore? Again, a court of law says otherwise, while youre just some dumb shit contrarian faggot.
What's Breibart?
i dont think its possible to subscribe to BB
You do remember Edward Snowden is on the lam right now
Gawker was straight up trash clickbait.
They literally ran a story about "I got a tampon stuck" - a thread on williamsboard
I like The Daily Wire, myself.
>Gawker cant even afford to pay for their crimes
sad!
Is gawker and jezebel sister companies or something?
>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.
Yes, gawker was the main site and jezebel a spinoff
Gizmodo was part of gawker too
Yes. Both owned by Gawker Media. As well as Gizmodo and Kotaku.
>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.
Somebody should edit the picture then because it comes off as comparing two different websites for no reason. It's important context to consider.
Anyone who is actually educated on this topic would know they are related, unlike you.
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
>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
>I cant refute anything you said so let me make up some extreme counterexample that really has nothing to do with your example
>Gawker is guilty, but shouldn't get closed for it.
Ah the Hillary defense.
>being this suspicious
What's the issue?
>anybody that is educated
>on gawker and jezebel
Yeah, sorry for not keeping updated on the ins and outs of tabloid trash.
I accept your apology.
Well, not if the (((perpetrators))) of the pedophilia also owned the news outlets.
But that's just crazy.
>people defending clickbait tabloid shit
>on fucking Sup Forums of all places
I hope you're just baiting
>tabloid trash.
GAWKER IS A BASTION OF FREE SPEECH AND ARE JUST LIKE EDWARD SNOWDEN! BRAVE MARTYRS OF THE TRUTH!
jesus what a sociopath
Yes, Hulk Hogan's dick and government misconduct are both equally newsworthy.
>The media calling itself the bullied party
>there are actual idiots on here defending Gawker
They were ordered by a court to remove the video then openly stated they would not and did not.
This isn't fucking rocket surgery.
>lo no dude, news about this international celebrity aren't newsworthy at all!
How the fuck are people writing documentaries showing Gawker to be on the right side? On top of the fact that they wrote articles agreeing with the prosecution's case, all they had to do was take down a video that they didn't own.
t. unpaid intern at whatever company bought gawker
Just ravaged libcucks desperate for a win. They're all over the board squirming.
Exactly, glad we could agree.
>Gawker
>Press
Web clickbait vultures are not news organisations.
Yes, and the law is always right. Never forget that to always obey you fucking sheep.
I hope you remember this post when someone breaks into your house and steals everything you own.
Why are right wingers so bad at art?
Seriously, liberals just draw so much better.
Don't you get it user?
Theil funded Hogans lawyers. Theil is gay but also friends with Pmurt.
Thus Gawker as crucified.
Jesus christ that fucking artstyle
They hate everyone and everything
Exactly. The fact that Thiel has more money than Gawker means that he is wrong.
>better style
>shapes are consistent
>backgrounds aren't simplistic
>nice coloring
it really is better
>how can we make this about trump
Every fucking time
