Gawker was found civilly liable for defamation after publishing details from Hulk Hogan’s sex tape. They also published a recording of the quote in the OP, I don’t remember if it was from that tape or a separate incident. The size of the judgement against them basically bankrupted the company.
BS clickbait is, for better or worse, still completely legal.
nothing of value was lost back then either, they kept pushing bs clickbait and calling it journualism
BS clickbait is annoying, but it shouldn’t be made literally illegal.
