The company has acknowledged facing lawsuits with plaintiffs ranging from an individual who claims he invented email to the website of the British tabloid The Daily Mail.
Ayyadurai may have done some interesting things, but his continued false insistence that he invented email is reaching really questionable levels.
Mr. Ayyadurai, the man who claims he invented email, said he had been looking into his legal options since 2012, when Gizmodo, a Gawker property, published an article that harshly criticized his professional track record.
Besides the Mail and Hogan, Gawker is being sued by the conservative writer Charles Johnson; Shiva Ayyadurai, a technologist whose claim to have invented email was challenged by the site; and a Chicago lawyer, Meanith Huon.
Ayyadurai and some of his friends have continued to play up the claim that he "invented" email, but it simply was never true, and it's reaching a level that seems truly bizarre.
It went like this: A colleague sent me a copy of your tweet, "Happy birthday to EMAIL! 30 years old today!" I'm afraid that you've inadvertently endorsed the propaganda campaign of V.A. Shiva Ayyadurai, who has been mounting a vigorous but quixotic effort to convince the world that he invented email as a schoolboy between 1978 and 1982.
