They need to pass a law allowing airports to more easily opt out of using TSA screeners and instead using private companies. Time to clip TSA’s wings.

It’s not a blow to free press.

Yes, but also, fuck Gawker and that whole culture of paparazzi and for whatever reason, the need for people to know what their favorite celebrities are doing at all hours of the day and what their secrets are that they’d rather not everyone know or at the least they’d like to control how it is revealed to their fans.…

That’s what gets me. This is the same network that will, rightly, decry things like exes posting nude pics of their former love interests for revenge. Posting a sex tape against the wishes of those in the tape should be viewed no differently. But since it was a celebrity that they do not like and it would draw clicks…

I don’t think that posting someone’s private sex tape is considered “free press”, perhaps in the most literal way, but conventional expression freedom laws do allow one to sue for damages if his privacy is intruded upon.

Yes, “fuck every other thin skinned rich asshole.” That’s precisely what’s responsible for your situation, and you still don’t understand it. You can’t claim to be free press and write or incite people to write what you wrote. You either stick to tech and shut the fuck up about the rest, or you have the delusion that…

Not a blow against free press. A blow to slander and laible. Good riddence yellow press.

Why are you angry at the Hulkster? He was the injured party here. Or do you think that sex tapes shot without a person’s permission should be widely disseminated?

“Definitely a blow against free press.”

Not free press. The government isn’t shutting them down. This was self-inflicted because there is no decency in the press, only viewership which means add revenue so nothing is off limits if it means clicks.

Katie, no. That’s not what it means. It means your company is using the Chapter laws to protect itself legally. It’s legal hiding.

If you don’t want to get sued for millions of dollars, don’t ignore a judge’s order to remove a portion of a sex tape you posted for clicks.

I don’t know about karma, but it’s not like Gawker was exactly blameless here. They pretty egregiously violated someone’s privacy, and it’s hardly the first time they’ve done so. I mean, fuck Peter Thiel, but Gawker brought this fate down upon their own heads.

I still maintain that if they wanted to do an all female ghostbusters it should have been a continuation not a reboot. Essentially in the first movie they talked about how the “Franchising rights alone will make us millions”. So fast forward all these years later and who might need money? Venkman. Have him scam the…

You have shit friends.

I got home late Sunday so I didn’t get to see Game of Thrones until a couple hours after everyone else. In that time there was enough going around on Facebook that didn’t directly tell me what happened, but did hint well enough that something with a certain character was going down and how. It was enough to take a…

Judging by what passes for “news” on the Gawker network, I really don’t think you’re in a position to blast conservatives for “fake outrage of the day.”

Workers have rights without having to pay unions for those rights.

Good luck. I got out and moved to Massachusetts. And to think when I was a kid it was called “Taxachusetts,” and now it’s an upgrade from Connecticut. The rest of my siblings and my wife’s siblings have all moved out too.

I’m about ready to jump ship, just waiting for work to have an opening in MN or RI and I’m gone, could go to MD but they are in many ways worse than CT, not too sold on RI and the headquarters are in MN so it seems the likely place I’ll end up sooner or later, CT can eat a bag of dicks IMO
