Bad words, false news. View it before your kids do.

Engages in gross violation of privacy
Helpful
This is a sleazy site that masquerades as a news site (most certainly isn't), violates the privacy of viewers (tracking) and the victims they allegedly report upon, while trying to hide behind "freedom of the press" to avoid litigation.
Helpful
This website has absolutely no ethical standards when it comes to "Journalism." They actively plagiarize other websites and even worse, violate people's legitimate rights to privacy. This is a big place for people to get doxed. Don't support these people, they are bad bad people. Wanna know more, watch this review: *****

This is a website that has been known to promote bullying, harassment, and invasion of people's private lives (including leaking pornographic materials) for profit. I see no reason why anyone would want their children viewing anything on Gawker's network.
Helpful
"news" site full of propaganda and BS stories.
Helpful
Presents itself as a news site. However, the site contains overly sensationalized titles that often do not even coincide with the story presented in the article. Authors stretch the facts to fit their agenda and sometimes simply present false facts as true. Sometimes this is because they blatantly steal from other sites that are not trustworthy. It is the liberal version of Fox News, along with the other sites in the Gawker network (such as Jezebel.)

Best gossip and breaking news site to get your snark on!

They posted Hulk Hogan's sex video - How is that "suitable for children"?
Helpful
It is a classic case of the saying "If it bleeds it leads." Then add in things like the privacy problem and that is just too much. No thanks.
Helpful
Not sure how this site is rated safe for children when there are sex tapes of Hulk Hogan on it and other celebrity nudes. The site is safe, and is generally a clickbait site with shoddy journalism and is often very tabloid-esque. Some people enjoy it, just as some enjoy "Keeping up with the Kardashians." Take what you read with a grain of salt anywhere, but especially here.

I can always find entertaining reads on this site! Great site!

Corrupt to the core. A laundry list of violations would include advocacy for bullying of the disenfranchised in society, condoning pedophilia, celebrity stalking, leaking copyrighted materials, leaking private information of high profile targets, libel, not paying employees, hiring forum moderators on non-affiliated websites to conduct subversive methods of censorship and advertisement, etc. Gawker is the pinnacle of clickbait / outrage articles. Anything related to social advocacy is a facade meant to create a society of paranoia and anger. Even ignoring the site completely, it maintains an unhealthy presence on the Internet at large to do its vast network. Avoid this site and all of its affiliates at all costs.
6
Pathetic site which is good for nothing. Avoid and ban this site! Some files contains adwares.
3
A typical gossip page with questionable material. Seems like there is no proper research done.
5
Promotes bullying and corruption.

These guys breach the privacy of the people they cover. They're not real journalists, they're hacks that steal content from otehr sites and cross posts. ridiculous.

Gawker media network doesn't practice thorough investigative journalism (and due diligence), instead crosslinking sensationalized headlines and links without providing a full picture/follow up.

Gawker is trash. Its shoddy journalism and is not a place to go to for actual news. The internet would be better off if this garbage disappeared forever.
