"You live in a country where a billionaire can put a publication out of business."

I highly doubt Thiel would have been able to do that had it not been for Gawker's general being shitty. Outing Thiel was shitty, publishing the sex tape of a private individual was shitty, and saying that they would publish kiddie porn if they felt it was "newsworthy" was shitty.

Gawker was able to be taken out due to their own actions.
