What is it that Peter Thiel said previously about women voting? What did he do to Gawker?

Just a friendly reminder, Gawker did not out Thiel. He had a public profile on Friendster that clearly described him as interested in men. Gawker's editor at the time remarked that people like him thought the web was this super ultra secret bat cave, and that if you posted something there it wasn't really public.

You see no difference between someone sharing something on a social platform versus having that information plastered across the nation?

Social platforms are largely ways for people to plaster information across the nation. Just look at how Twitter is used these days.

I think it's unlikely we'll be able to have a productive conversation. Have a good day!
