Something about Digg.....

How about this:

This content has been censored on Digg. Digg ranks and displays online news for tens of thousands of Internet users. The system purports to be openly run by its users, who vote for submissions in order to raise the profile of online content.

However, Digg is sponsored by Microsoft, and has signed sponsorship agreements that limit freedom of speech regarding Microsoft and its products. Microsoft also sponsors online users to post astroturf and dispute accurate information that is in any way critical of the company and its products.

Recently, a small minority of anonymous Digg users have worked to censor anything from RDM posted to Digg by any of its users, and harrass anyone on Digg supporting RDM.

Digg's official response has been to ban all RDM articles, and delete records of them on its site, along with all user comments involving Microsoft and the censorship and sponsorship of the Digg system. When asked to review its censorship of RDM, Digg responds by saying it will continue to ban all RDM articles because it does not want to receive ongoing complaints from users who do not like RDM content. You can balance the feedback Digg receives by letting it know what you think about censorship and slanted information sources pretending to be legitimate and open.

You can join over 800 readers who have petitioned Digg to stop its censorship of RDM articles and request that the site act impartially, regardless of its sponsorship. You can also petition Apple to build a content system that provides access to information that is not controlled and manipulated by a monopolist.

I don't know if this is true or not; But would it really surprise you? I got it from reading an article from this site:

This guy writes some good stuff about Apple products. Especially how they relate to Microsoft products.

so, what's RDM supposed to be ?
