Massive Censorship Of Digg Uncovered

The article below documents the organized efforts of conservative groups to manipulate one of the most influential social media sites, Digg.com, for political purposes.  Take a few deep breaths before you read.  It's pretty long and often infuriating.

From Massive Censorship Of Digg Uncovered:

One bury brigade in particular is a conservative group that has become so organized and influential that they are able to bury over 90% of the articles by certain users and websites submitted within 1-3 hours, regardless of subject material. Literally thousands of stories have already been artificially removed from Digg due to this group. When a story is buried, it is removed from the upcoming section (where it is usually at for ~24 hours) and cannot reach the front page, so by doing this, this one group is removing the ability of the community as a whole to judge the merits or interest of these stories on their own (in essence: censoring content). This group is known as the Digg “Patriots”.
