DIGG buries 91% of Ron Paul!

[Pharoah]

:mad: Yes 91 % of all Ron Paul stories are currently buried at Digg.com

I came to this shocking conclusion after reading this story which claims 85 % or RP stories are buried:

http://www.zaphu.com/2007/09/24/internet-censorship-a-digg-bury-brigade-case-study/

I found it hard to believe, so I decided to repeat their test. I went to Digg.com and ran the following search:

Ron Paul result: 111 pages found.
Ron Paul (including buried) result: 1181 pages found.

Total not buried 9.39 %
Total Buried 90.61 %

That is some serious censorship!

The question is, what do we do about it?

It's democratic how it's censored.

For the Digg the candidates, there are 21,000 democratic friends. That's enough to bury any story

[jumpyg1258]

My post about digg censorship got buried within 10 minutes of being posted.

[CanadiansLoveRonPaul]

There is something going on over at DIGG ATM. All of the pro Paul comments are getting -20 even though they are nothing but the truth. Something very strange indeed...

[FrankRep]

Bury Digg.

Bury it all.

[Paulbot_9876]

does it say who buries the stories????? not shure how to work digg yet.....just the digg and bury feature.....

[slamhead]

Do the same analysis for other candidates. I think you will find the culprits..

[kushaze]

Lets put Ron Paul on the most burried list. That will really mess with the Ron Paul burry brigades heads.

[jufreese]

lets bury everything but the bad stuff about the other candidates

[parke]

Yup. Bury the entire site. Screw them.

[Thanehand]

Digg does not matter. Spend your time going door to door and helping with the letter writing campaign!

[NorwegianLibertarian]

Bury everthing and they will have to change the "bury" procedures.

Democracy at its finest.

[cero]

How about we form our own Anti-bury brigade?

[scooter]

There is no conspiracy here. The other Digg users just got tired of all the Ron Paul posts I suppose.

Focus on something else rather than worrying about what appears on Digg. All of the people who read Digg regularly already know who Ron Paul is.

[smartpeople4ronpaul]

How many, "BURY"s does it need to not appear on searches anymore? Only one?

[Kregener]

Digg is Web 2.0, and like Wikipedia and other Web 2.0 trash, cannot be trusted as a viable source for information.

[bc2208]

how do you bury something

[zcopley]

This crap has been going on for a looooong time. Digg is a joke.
