Fame actually sucks without the riches. (Actually it sucks even with the riches, but at least you're getting compensated). Good on him for finding a way to get paid from it because I would absolutely hate to become instantly famous, especially for some completely random thing that has no obvious way to benefit from.

lol he got paid in ride credits.

Probably not, because they probably weren't being racist shitbags in their sex tape.

Gawker deserved to pay damages to Hogan. They should not have been put out of business by manipulation of defamation law by conservative billionaire shitheads.

So wait if you say something bad during sex the whole world needs to know?

The manger babies don't have feelings. You said it yourself.

i'd say that would really piss off a lot of the republicans who are left, because 9/11 is so important to the right. but really i'm not surprised anymore, because 9/11 is only useful as a political prop and anything actually involving it gets brushed away (see: healthcare bill for first responders)

Not every news outlet has the coffers or reputation of the New York Times.

The possibility of lawsuits is enough to change behavior.
Intimidation lawsuits for libel already existed. The Gawker case hasn't changed that. Until it actually becomes a precedent for courts to change libel or defamation laws, you're just speculating wildly.

That you are who you purport to be (and usually somewhat notable, such as a journalist).

@realDonaldTrump has the checmark because it is actually Donald Trump's twitter, for instance.

Means you're verified to be that human being. Usually given to public figures. Some folks give a lot of meaning to it, believing it adds credibility and weight.

Known shitlord Milo complained to the White House press corps when his check mark was removed. They shut him down beautifully.

Well i want a society that sees it is never in the public interest to see two people in a private moment of intimacy no matter what their saying on that tape.

Also you would have supported the fappening if it had reveled that several of those women were racists right?

yeah i think it's this. they'll dust it off if they can score some points against a dem, but otherwise they really don't care

if they invoke 9/11 as a reason to disown trump, it'll be because they wanted an excuse to do something they wanted to do anyway
