I was Banned from Digg for Dissenting Comments

[mediahasyou]

If you don't know recently I made a comment on digg stating:

"This is what tyranny looks like"... about the stimulus passing with zero house republican votes. It was on this story:
http://digg.com/politics/House_passes_819_billion_stimulus_package_with_0_G OP_votes

It was the first comment that is now deleted.

and now I am banned...

Obviously the owners of digg do not approve of such comments about the stimulus... Digg does not approve of dissenters, neither does youtube.

Free speech is dead on the web. The owners will continue to silence the dissent. This is why the revolution must be held off the internet.

sounds like bs to me. anyway to protest ?

you effing terrorist... I'm gonna have to report you to the King Obama intolerance hotline...

This is the stuff I've been tentatively expecting. Expect to be tazed by a singing 3rd grader in the near future.

I post plenty of anti-bailout and anti-socialism comments and have not had a problem.

Moreso I see hundreds of such comments quite frequently.

Sure you didn't do something else wrong?

You have no free speech protection on privately owned websites, sorry.

yeah you do:) delete them,remove your profile and do not visit the scum!!

You should know that all of the people that run Digg were Obama supporters, etc.

[jaumen]

I don't know about the people who run digg, but at least 75% of digg is populated by super-liberals.

[Jeremy]

Well the admins of Digg said they supported Obama in their profile during the primaries and general election. That's what I heard at least

[Magsec]

I would jump ship to reddit as I go there all the time but rarely go to digg. I've never heard of anyone getting banned on reddit, and it's a more politically active community anyway.

[Leadman584]

I would guess that Digg admins were responding to complaints from other users. There are some very vocal, and ideological groups that camp out at Digg. I think some of them are actually paid to screw with people like us.

There is strength in numbers. I have several friends at Digg that help undo my negative Diggs.

I have been attacked a few times by the megaphone crowd, and it felt so good. These Zionist scum think they can control opinion, and they are so very wrong. When they finally banned "Onetimer" the Ron Paul hater, I chuckled.

Digg is far more powerful than most people realize. A front page article can easily cripple most websites. It's like a DDOS attack, but legal. The megaphone crowd knows this.

We freedom lovers should really form a coalition on Digg. If we can friend each other on Digg, we could easily counteract a great deal of stupidity there. The more friends you have, the less likely you are to be banned.

I'm Leadman584 on Digg, and Kemp34 is a staunch ally, probly one of you. Let's get a few thousand freedom lovers on the same page of music, and sing the song of Liberty.

Most of the older generation who vote and have the money do not use the web much for their news, as they are still old school. I've learned that the hard way selling vintage cars; put an add on ebay and no sales... but list it in a traditional weekly car magazine and the phone starts to ring.

Good job over there on DIGG reguardless. Here's a happy poster to cheer you up. Send me your email and I'll send you a full size pdf and you can print them out and hang them up locally.
