    I think you mean "right to privacy" and nobody violated Gawker's freedom of speech.

    Freedom of speech is for individuals not to be arrested by the government for criticizing said government's institutions. A for profit publication can be sued in civil court by anyone (including the government) for anything (including privacy violations) and it does not violate anyone's constitutional right to free speech.

    The rest is just internet muddying waters, screaming about free speech in any high profile case of he said she said.
