I witnessed another way articles and information disappears. When Gawker filed for bankruptcy, I was part of the team that covered it. A 2015 Gawker article that Sam Biddle wrote that referenced hacked emails from former Sony Pictures CEO Michael Lynton was deleted from the site without explanation during the bankruptcy. Lynton told us he had nothing to do with it. We assumed - but couldn’t prove - someone paid the bankruptcy trustee to take it down. After all, his job is to maximize $$ for creditors. Here’s the story if you’re interested.
