Yah good point.

Most small businesses would suffer no harm at all from an adversary with an initial $10MM allocated toward an attack. After all, most businesses have no employees who have ever done anything even remotely questionable. And besides, it's super cheap and easy to win in court if truth and justice are on your side. (and the same in print; there's no way to for an investigative journalist to create disproportionately bad press)

You're definitely correct, right, and very smart. I agree with all of your points.

If those small businesses had done shitty things like Gawker, then let them suffer!

It's not "employee doing something questionable"... it was their entire business model.
