I think the billionaire funding of lawyers for a lawsuit was not an attack to free-speech. Not even close. Not even suggestive of such a thing. I think it did not affect the free work of the press as the article suggests. I think it only affected media vehicles abusing its power to earn money at the expense of violating the privacy of an individual.

I believe it is just like when the police arrests a thief robbing a store, it does not affect the right to come and go of the other customers. Not even the ones who are there complaining or protesting against the store.
