        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.
