They wouldn't have published a sex-tape of Thiel, as they knew he was rich enough to sue. The 'expensive lawsuit' problem in this case was that Gawker felt they could get away with illegally publishing the sex tape, as Hulk wouldn't be able to afford risking legal action. Thiel didn't back 1000s of cases against Gawker to grind them down with legal costs (and you'd hope if he did, punitive costs/counter-suits would be awarded against him for frivolous and baseless actions - although sadly not normally the case). Yes, Apple could back 1000s of libel cases against El Reg, and this would be bad - but this isn't what happened here. ![]() Lawsuits are expensive - this is the problem/weapon.

Surprising absolutely no one, Tim Cook is not a fan of now-dead Gawker Media, of which Gizmodo was a part. And now, the show is back on the market and the executive who brought it in, Layne Eskridge, has left the company. He expressed a distinctly negative view toward Gawker, the people said. Apple Incs (NASDAQ: AAPL) streaming service TV+ abandoned plans to make a series inspired by Gawker Media after CEO Tim Cook expressed disapproval in an email, the New York Times reported Sunday.
