Digg.com vs. The People

The underlying aspect of the Web 2.0 movement is that the online community posts, shares and interacts at their own discretion while adhering to overarching regulations. This was heatedly tested in Digg.com’s latest debacle, where users were candidly posting code enabling the bootlegging of DVDs. The site initially took authority over the questionable content, deleting the material despite its strict stand on allowing for an open forum.

Users continued to post the code, rebelling against what they believed was censorship and in the end, Digg let the content remain on the site, risking legal repercussions.

What do you think of Digg’s actions?
