Peter Thiel has invested in Objection(ai), a startup co-founded by Aron D'Souza — his collaborator in the lawsuit that destroyed Gawker Media — which uses former FBI, CIA, and British intelligence operatives to investigate journalists on behalf of anyone willing to pay $2,000. Once a complaint is filed against a piece of journalism — by anyone, including strangers unrelated to the story — a team of ex-intelligence investigators assembles an evidence file. The journalist is invited to respond, and the material is handed to an "AI tribunal" of large language models that issues a public verdict. The result feeds into an "Honor Index" — a permanent public score attached to the journalist's name marketed as a measure of their integrity.

Press freedom advocates have described the platform as a privatized intimidation system designed to chill reporting on powerful figures. Critics note the $2,000 fee makes it accessible to corporations and political operatives at industrial scale. Thiel co-investor Balaji Srinivasan is also backing the project. Salon described the system as "a hallucination of the legal process" — binding arbitration without courts, verdicts without juries, and consequences without due process.
