The Businessman Who Helped Peter Thiel Kill Gawker Wanted to Save Journalism. Then His Site Went Dark.

Aron D’Souza, involved in the lawsuit against Gawker Media with Peter Thiel, launched an AI platform called Objection to dispute media claims but shut it down after feedback. The platform addressed issues like Joe Rogan promoting ivermectin as a Covid-19 cure and Bernie Sanders' claims about Benjamin Netanyahu. D’Souza aims to reform journalism through his ventures, including Enhanced Games, an Olympics-style event allowing performance-enhancing drugs.
