No wonder. Axel Springer is an utterly malicious corporation.
It’s only fitting that they take a liking to Thiel, who is, after all, also an unscrupulous monster.
Edit: Removed a statement about Springer Verlag; thanks to schnurrito for pointing out that this company is not affiliated with Axel Springer.
As far as I can tell and find out on the Internet, Springer Verlag is a completely different corporation that has nothing in common with Axel Springer except a similar name.
You're right—thanks for pointing that out.
Because of their shady tactics, I had naturally assumed that Axel Springer must be involved, but in fact, Springer Verlag was founded by Julius Springer, who apparently has nothing to do with Axel Springer.
Edit: I'm removing the part about Springer Verlag from my comment so that other people don't get confused.
