They are actually required by law to do this as of recently (end of 214). Before that 'news sites' would shove paid articles down your throat without even hinting that they were actually ads. However the FTC updated its guidelines.
Funny enough they did so at the insistence of an email writing campaign by Gamergate who were fed up with the behaviour of Gawker and its subsites. The FTC even confirmed this explicitly in several emails that were posted on reddits/kotakuInAction/ board.
Who knows, maybe writing to them en masse will get them to limit cross-site tracking of users next.
>You can't have news sections of general interest like "Your Rights Online" and ignore gender issues in tech. True, unfortunately what the SJW pushes are not at all 'issues' but merely whining about imagined grievances and mistaking correlation for causation. That is in the best cases. Most of the time its just plain bullying. As of now there are no real issues with gender in tech: On the internet no one knows that you are a dog. The tech community is one of the most tolerant and open on this planet.
Yes bitcoin itself is, or at least was, somewhat hyped more than it should. This is of course completely different with other new and innovative technologies in the IT world [/sarcasm] Nonetheless the blockchain technology itself is pretty solid and does open many new venues in the are of finances. At least this seems to be what most banks and other global players in the financial industry seem to thing based on the number of positions which require blockchain expertise that are currently open at the moment.

Seriously this has to be a joke. Gawker of all places. Gawker who got scolded by the FTC for not even bothering to separate paid advertising from actual articles. Gawker who doxed all gun owners in new york. Gawker whose editor once proclaimed that "Nerds should be bullied into submission". (Sam Bidle) Gawker who was penalized and mentioned by name by Google when explained their new "fact based algorithm" and its benefits. Gawker who knowingly stole photographs from an amateur and explained to her that she should be happy that her photos were deemed worthy of Gawker. Gawker who is currently being sued by Hulk Hogan for the leak of his sex tape, by their interns for refusing to pay them anything yet working them like regular employees.(You can read more about the unpaid interns with the hashtag #Fairpay I am told, unfortunately I am not familiar with twitter) Gawker who is set up using multiple shell companies in New-York, Hungary and the Caymans to avoid all and any taxes. Gawker who criticized "Charlie Hebdo" immediately after 10 of the employees there were murdered by terrorists with an article titled "How much did we need this blasphemy?"
And of course tons of "Quality" article such as "If you dont want to watch a fish suck a dick, here is a description", "Is the new york post edited by a Bigoted Drunk who fucks pigs?" and lastly "Born this way: Sympathy and Science for those who want to have sex with children". That is probably only the tip of the iceberg.
Gawker should not be read, linked to or even mentioned in any way or form.
Put it back from where it came from: Into empty uranium mines.
Sure the nuclear waste radiates more than uranium ore, but on the other hand its half life is also significantly shorter.
And then the healing can begin.
Nah, just kidding, that would be completely crazy.
Instead I predict more slashvertisement, more videos, and even less quality in editing the stories.
Oh and more Social Justice Warrior nonsense and Nerdbashing.

And it took me only 18 years to realize it. I should probably reinstall Total Annihilation now...
