.............................. - kahrn, on 10/12/2007, -2/+74I can understand digg censoring the key, but censoring comments and users is going to far IMO.
Digg has lost it's balls. Shame on you, Kevin. - iwasaphonik, on 10/12/2007, -2/+452 of my accounts have been banned + my IP and I didn't even post the hash, just stories about censorship - like this one.
Whats going on Digg? - swrostmore, on 10/12/2007, -1/+44the 5 feet of November?
- jownz, on 10/12/2007, -6/+43Well, digg was fun for a while.. Back to slashdot and reddit I go -- I hate to promote another sites, but what other choice do we have to get information we can trust?
I can't believe a site that got famous by posting Paris Hilton's cellphone content would stoop to this. - HalFTW, on 10/12/2007, -1/+35They have started censoring articles just because they talk about Digg being censored.
They removed this story from the list of new stories (without deleting it) even though there is no key in the linked page. http://digg.com/linux_unix/The_censored_15000 - mygans, on 10/12/2007, -1/+35this will go a long way....20000?
but only until this is blocked.... - danielrh9, on 10/12/2007, -0/+28As I've stated in other stories concerning this, Digg NEEDS to make a public statement. And fast. Or these will continue to pop up. Until something is concretely said or done, it's just going to be a virtual game of tag until someone eventually gives up. And I seriously doubt the Digg community will be the first to blink.

- Xageroth, on 10/12/2007, -1/+25Kind of puts a damper on the whole "community driven" aspect when the community nearly unanimously promotes a story only to have it vaporized by admins.
- leetdood, on 10/12/2007, -2/+24Digg should be ashamed.. 09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0.
- BalsamLane, on 10/12/2007, -2/+23The beginning of the end of Digg?
09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0 Forever! - CJosiah, on 10/12/2007, -3/+21Yeah, how long 'til this one gets deleted? Any bets? My guess is around 1,000.
- pixelbeat, on 10/12/2007, -6/+24Remember, remember the 5ft. of November.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -4/+22I'm off to reddit now, screw you Digg.
- Diggtatorship, on 10/12/2007, -0/+18CJosiah, just know that you aren't the first, and wont be the last, to be unfairly censored and banned by the Diggtators that run this site.
Digg: Free Speech FTL! - LordBen, on 10/12/2007, -3/+18http://duggmirror.com/linux_unix/How_I_got_banned_from_Digg/
How I got banned from Digg
It all started last night. I'm reading my RSS feeds and I come across an article on Digg.
Spread this number. Now.
*******(Edited out by LordBen I don't want to be banned others have posted the number). It's the HD-DVD processing key you can use to decrypt and play most HD-DVD movies in Linux. Movie studios are going ballistic over this leak, so Digg the story up and make it reach the front page.
Are you serious? That's awesome! Somebody found a key that allows Linux users watch HD-DVDs! Naturally, I wanted to find out more, so I clicked the link. Much to my dismay, that story had been deleted from Digg already. Why is this story gone? Who deleted it? How dare they?! They can't censor that kind of stuff can they? I go back to my Google Reader, copy and paste the entire thing into a new story, and resubmit it.
I went to sleep, and didn't think much about what I had done.
Until morning.
Upon reading my RSS feeds again, and come across MY story, on the front page of Digg!
I click the link and there's over 15,000 votes! I felt like a hero reading all the comments that people were writing. Comments like:
* It's times like these when all I can say is: I love digg.
* OMG THIS DAY IS BEAUTIFUL!!! I WANT TO HUG MY FELLOW GEEKS!!!!
Other comments say that Digg itself was down for 10 minutes because of the rate this story was getting dugg. People were getting 404s when trying to reach Digg. Even Duggmirror went down.
So I'm reading the comments, and every once in a while I'd refresh the page a few times to see how high the digg count would climb. And then it happened. First, the comments all disappeared, and then the story itself disappeared. And then, my digg account disappeared. My account is no longer valid.
There you have it folks, if you submit a story that Digg needs to censor, your account too will be deleted.
But wait. There's more.
My friend Chris Haley was smart enough to save the entire page at almost the height of its fame. At 15,492 Diggs, HERE IS THE FULL ARTICLE IN ALL ITS GLORY. All the comments are there. You can even expand the hidden comments. Thanks Chris!
So who knows what's gonna happen next? Leave a comment. :-D Also, please support me by Digging this article!

- PaddyTheChump, on 11/06/2007, -0/+13This is a sad day for digg.
I used to like digg, but this is *****.
***** Digg - ZeroMP, on 10/12/2007, -1/+13So the other day I had a big paper I've been working on open in word and apparently my cat managed to hit ctrl+a then delete as she was walking all over my keyboard. When I got home all that was left of my paper was some jibberish... . 09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0

- glasgowm, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12"Everyone, stop with all this "Digg is going to get sued" crap. Digg itself can't be sued, a First Circuit Court ruling, backed by the Communications Decency Act (Sec. 230 for those interested), determined that a site can't be held account able for something its users/commenters post.
here's proof: http://www.acsblog.org/economic-regulation-employment-federal-court-reaffirms-immunity-of-bloggers-from-suits-brought-against-commenters.html

Should ever be forgot. - Wonderkind, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10What's Digg?
Digg is all about user powered content. Everything is submitted and voted on by the Digg community. Share, discover, bookmark, and promote stuff that's important to you!
Oops. Guess not. At least not anymore. See ya when you decide to stand up to your own promise, Kev. - 10001110101, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10Personally, I like the idea of burying everything.

- spoonyinc, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8I joined last night simply to digg and comment on the infamous post. I'm sad that a site I've been lurking on for so long has, well, lost it's roots.

This represents more than just HD-DVD. It represents free speech. History shows that despite every effort of any organization or government, the free flow of information will ultimately prevail. It may just be a code to most, but to me it's an advance for consumerist rights, and not getting pushed around by any business with enough money to do it. - pixelbeat, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8Dude, you have to chill... let's have some 09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0!
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7The part that's inexcusable is not comment from official digg sources. They've been on a day long gestapo like ban censor hunt and have remained completely silent. It's time for digg's drunken little fuhrer to come out of his bunker and say something. YOU OWE US!!. We the digg community made you. You are nothing without us. Without the digg community Kevin would have to be back on that 4th rate cable channel and Jay would have to be flipping burgers or whatever actual skills he possesses. Speak! All we have to do is point our browsers elsewhere and your little empire collapses. No billion dollar sale to google or whoever then. End rant.
- HalFTW, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Seems they removed this article from the index to. It's no longer listed on the front page, but still here.
- ricepudd, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7Hmm, one minute on the front page. Next minute not. Well at least we're keeping the digg employees busy today.
- hifiDesign, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6@kahrn: So I thought, but check out the screenshot I took:

duggmirror caught it too. - aywwts4, on 10/12/2007, -7/+13Chester, Thanks for digging all of my comments last night :D
As in every thread http://reddit.com/goto?id=1mgig and register for reddit, let digg know they cant treat users this way, when they start making us disappear for simple disagreeing with digg publicly. give them there wish, Lets all disappear. - anzac, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7it's spreading like a virus:
http://digg.com/security/Spread_this_Number_Again_Yes_again
http://digg.com/security/Spread_this_Shop_Again - dopey420, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Know I will get dugg down. I feel that Kevin R has sold out. I miss the Dark tipper. Use too, he show us some cool hacks, cracks. Mostly windows and Linux stuff. Now he seams to be an apple shell/fan boy.
Now this crap. If they lose the old tech tv fan base which helped them launch this site, and there podcast? Wounder what be left?
Still watch the show but starting to get bored with it. Use to care about Kevin's opinion on stuff. Now not so much. - ViperDaimao, on 10/12/2007, -5/+10Or it could be able this breaking the law, and digg being legally culpable.
- MrTimmay, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6wtf kevinrose, wtf.
- lolhax, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5All posts related to the key are now deleted, this one's buried.

Viva la revolution! - aywwts4, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Post this on every story you can!
Friends, Countrymen, Diggers, Buriers, Trolls, Lend me your ears.
Digg has censored us!
Digg has decided to squelch out all dissent about their policy of censorship by deleting most of the threads about it, and burying the rest.
On Slashdot there is free discourse. http://yro.slashdot.org/yro/07/05/01/1935250.shtml on reddit there is open speech http://programming.reddit.com/goto?id=1mb4f
But on Digg stories with 666 and 778 posts are buried suspiciously http://www.cjmillisock.com/2007/05/how-i-got-banned-from-digg.html http://images.google.co.uk/images?svnum=10&um=1&hl=en&safe=off&q=censorship&btnG=Search+Images
Numerous users are simply disappearing, their accounts disappearing simply for speaking out against censorship. http://digg.com/users/usedtobeaphonik
Digg wants users less active in the community to go about their day as if nothing was happening, wondering what the hell is up with these random numbers everyone is posting all over.
Don’t sit idle! Digg was built by the users, the same users they are trying to silence, not for spreading a number, but for questioning censorship and dissent. Don’t let discussion continue until digg either addresses this issue and creates a new social contract with the users, or bans each and every one of us. - mlaskowski, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5digg isnt "community driven" its "wallet driven"
- enderu, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Digg has every right to pull stories and censor as they see fit, but they're damn foolish if they think they'll keep the community (and thus their income) through this.
- omgomgomg, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5as is the case with anything that starts, has a following, and gets big.. some sort of corruption or self-interest or self-protection follows. Like MS, google, .. etc X 1,000,000.
alot of people here are smart, and you shouldn't be surprised about this. Rose, and all his team.. including the guy with the emo hair, all care about one thing only, it's themselves.
small things FTW. - k7k0, on 10/12/2007, -0/+409 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0.
Until they ban us all.

.............................. - canewediggit, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4glas- you're confusing 'can't be sued' with 'held accountable'. youtube is currently being sued for what their users upload. please learn the difference. digg CAN be sued, and whether or not the case has a leg to stand on, they still get charged $$$$ by their legal team for dealing with the issue.
