This case involves a dispute between Hogan's right to privacy and Gawker's right to freedom of speech and expression, specifically concerning a sex tape posted to Gawker's website. The jury in this case found in favor of Hogan, that his privacy rights had been violated, and this outweighed Gawker's right to post news on their site. This case has a colorful procedural history and Gawker has already indicated that it will appeal from which  it expects a favorable outcome based on decisions of the federal court and the court of appeal on the preliminary injunction.
