Digg this

How far do you go when you are one of the leading websites on the world on free speech!!

Digg decided yesterday to follow up on a request to remove illegal content, meaning a link that to the decryption key for HD DVD's.
Within minutes after deleting the story came again and again and again! The users simply took over the site for hours! This is what you call "user generated content"!

After a while CEO Jay Adelson wrote a post about the commotion, he was complaining about why the users acted as they did and tried to explain why Digg deleted the files! http://blog.digg.com/?p=73

This got the fire started again and worse! 50.000+ users wrote or commented on the code issue!

Kevin Rose added his post after this and wrote they will respect the freedom of speech even if this will get Digg intp lawsuit problems.
Very heroic response, great compliments to Digg!!
So now we probably all have to support the Digg team with money for the upcoming lawsuit!
Don't worry, freedom of speech is worth a lot to many people and Digg makes this possible! So face the issue and I am sure everyone will make their donations!!!
