They released the secret recording of him saying the racist thing above without anyone's permission. Which is an absolutely shitty thing to do. But Thiel saw it as an in and paid for the best lawyers he could find and took them down.
Should they have been taken down for it anyway? Maybe. But not because of Peter Thiel.
I've never watched it, but I feel like outing a gay man and revenge porn fall into the "bad action" category, despite them being pieces of shit.
Maybe, but Thiel didn't sue them for outing him. He bankrolled someone else's suit because he knew it would be much more damaging. And that is not how the system should work.
I thought he bankrolled hogan to out them for exposing his dick, though. I may be wrong.
The lawsuit that killed gawker was the hulk sex tape that they refused to take down. They were 100% wrong on that one.
