Growing Censorship Concerns at Digg 473
I find site rivalries boring, but growing concerns over Digg "censorship" have been submitted steadily for the last few months. Today two such stories were submitted so numerous that I had little choice but to post. The first claims that Digg is
the editor's playground- it explains how a few users control Digg, and that it's not really the 'Democracy' that they claim it to be. Personally I think this is all totally within the rights of their editors to choose content however they like. But it's less pleasant when combined with accounts getting banned for posting content critical of digg, and watching other content getting
removed for being critical of sponsors (also, here is Kevin Rose's reply).

It was a legitimate critique of slashdot policies. Much like this discussion is of digg's.
My moderation up until that point had been considered and careful.
Again. the admins have right to be dicks. But they can pretend that they are doing it for the good of the users.
