What is Digg?3 Comments
- chesterjosiah, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I posted in that thread's comments, but I'll post here again just to reiterate.
If I had received an error message that stated WHY the post had been removed, I would NOT have reposted it.
Obviously, it's possible that other people might've reposted it and the same thing might have happened. But I agree with Ludwik Trammer's thoughts.
I think any company who claims NOT to be performing acts of censorship SHOULD be transparent in this regard. Digg should display a different message (different from the normal Oops 404) when users land on a page that Digg has manually removed. Like YouTube does. Google should do this in their China endeavors too. It's a step in the right direction of getting rid of censorship all together. - bharaths7, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Yep, you are right, transparency on part of digg initially could have solved all problems!

Of course this case he presents would have been better that what Digg did, but still it was no guarantee that it would have avoided the mess.Digg made a mistake, let's just get over it and hope they learned their lesson.
