"Amazon billionaire says PayPal co-founder should ‘grow a thick skin’ rather than take reporters to court, and suggests dirtiest industries be banished to space"

Can we add 2016 to the title?

Seems only relevant on the surface. What AMI tried to do to Bezos is far worse, legally at least, than what Gawker did to Thiel.

And now Bezos is doing as he preached back then. He is revealing the blackmail instead of going to court over it.

That certainly remains to be seen, particularly if his numerous investigations with blank cheque budgets turn up anything interesting.

Blackmail is a criminal offence. If true, it's not for him to go to court over it.

Is this supposed to be an ironic post? Because it isn't.

He means for the one leaking the chats, and his ex-wife.

I'm not sure I agree with this. In thiels case they outted him for being gay. Hardly progressive.

Gawker was a bully that made it difficult for others to fight back. From the ordeal or took a lot of work to punish them. I say good on him. (He was fighting a revenge, spy porn tape for hulk and himself)

Someone thought they were being really smart digging this up, didn’t they?

Why anyone feels the need to cape for AMI is a mystery to me.
