Peter Thiel Launches AI Tribunal Platform That Charges Wealthy to Investigate Journalists
What was said
"For a fee starting at $2,000, anyone can pay to have a journalist story investigated by former intelligence operatives and judged by an AI tribunal consisting of major language models."
Tech billionaire Peter Thiel has co-founded Objection, a platform that allows wealthy individuals to pay between $2,000 and $10,000 to have journalism investigated by former CIA or FBI agents and then judged by an "AI tribunal." The first target was a journalist who had written skeptically about Purdue Pharma heir Michael Sackler. Critics argue the platform weaponizes fact-checking, serves as an intimidation tactic against the press, and threatens to penalize legitimate investigative reporting that relies on anonymous sources. The platform automatically assigns an "honor index score" to journalists based on AI determinations.
