We are appalled that Peter Thiel would use some of his billions to fund litigation intended to put Gawker out of business.   We call upon Facebook to remove Thiel from its board of directors. A person committed to silencing journalism he doesn't like should not sit on the board of a company that serves as the portal to digital news for tens of millions of people.   https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/remove-peter-thiel-from-facebooks-board-of-directors
