YouTube Description
as posted by the channelLast year, the digital media outlet Gawker declared bankruptcy and put itself up for sale after it was ordered to pay $140 million in a lawsuit for publishing the sex tape of wrestler Hulk Hogan. Hogan’s lawsuit was financially backed by Silicon Valley billionaire and Trump supporter Peter Thiel, who was outed as gay by a nowdefunct Gawker blog. The case is now the focus of a new movie premiering at the Sundance Film Festival. We speak to Brian Knappenberger, the director of "Nobody SpeakTrials of the Free Press." He previously directed "The Internet’s Own BoyThe Story of Aaron Swartz" and "We Are LegionThe Story of the Hacktivists," about the hacker collective Anonymous.
