A recent story on Digg censorship has caused quite a stir. Apparently a group of conservative Diggers have been manipulating the results to vote down liberal stories and to pump up conservative voices.
Who knows how much of this particular story is true, but many of us have suspected for a long time that Digg is rigged, and large sites can goose the results, along with certain powerful (or well-connected) users. The question is to what extent is Digg a part of or privy to the rigging process? And, do they turn a blind eye when it comes to friends, allies and sponsors? I wonder . . . .
