Gawker applies for Bankruptcy after Hulk Hogan's lawsuit over them hosting a sex tape with him in it devastates them.

This is bad, bad, bad guys. Section 230 is supposed to protect us from this sort of thing. If there are any other examples of this sort of liability rearing its head I've never heard of them. I think this is a first and thus a terrible precedent to set. Hogan, yes the professional wrestler from the 1980s, uses the N word in the tape, recorded of him surreptitiously, and when that is exposed to the world it ruins him professionally. The damages he won for that legally then tanks Gawker itself. This is bad for 1st amendment freedoms.
