Gosh.. Check this site out.. A new site opens with the complete story http://www.09f911029d74e35bd84156c5635688c0.ws/ People are too fast.. :d Also see digg Founder Kevin Rose'sstate ment: http://blog.digg.com/?p=74 Btw. The thread here in DP also got removed..What is happening.
people were posting all sorts of variations: http://digg.com/tech_deals/New_Jules_Verne_manuscript_found http://digg.com/linux_unix/World_Culture_and_History/ http://digg.com/tech_news/Revolt_at_Digg http://digg.com/hardware/Jesus_has_the_key Digg (it's out of service currently) posted a message on their blog (which will hit the front page artificially when digg opens back up) that has Kevin Rose talking about how they tried to protect Digg for the users, and now they've "heard the users loud and clear" and they're stopping the censorship. They're going to stick it out and go down with a fight. The funny part is that they're coming back with their tail between their legs and they're doing what they should have done before. But now it makes them look stupid and they're clearly only doing this because the digg users seriously showed who controls Digg and its revenues. I hope Digg loses big time on this, because they've been throwing their weight a lot .
yeah, merged. my own thread has been merged too. nevermind, as long as we can get 'latest news' aboud digg and kevin rose. LOL.
Maybe we can get this thread to the index page!! er, hi Shawn! http://digg.com/tech_news/The_Digg_Rebellion_09_F9_11_02_9D_74_E3_5B_D8_41_56_C5_63_56_88_C0
Bear in mind that people will digg the stories without reading them. DP won't feel the increase in traffic normally associated with a front page story.
That's true... Hmm... Perhaps you should digg this instead: http://digg.com/tech_news/Digg_on_Chaos --Joe
I feel bad for Digg. They have a great service, the only problem is that most of the people who use it are children.
From what I know that key was obtained through legal reverse engineering. There have been other posts on Digg before, relating to the decryption keys of other products and they were not taken down. So it didn't make sense to censor this. Slashdot did not censor it.. no one did. But Digg, a site founded upon free speech did. That's why the community revolted. Good thing Kevin wised up quickly. Still the whole ordeal is damaging to Digg because they gave in to a bigger company.
