Forget about the take down of top Digg user list, this is definitely the most incredible thing that ever happened in Digg.
It looks like Digg censored some sensitive stories that contain HD DVD encryption key, which their CEO explained it may get them into trouble against the intellectual property law...
but the Digg mob is not giving in and fight back with the power of people.
All the stories that made it to the front page are related to this topic and lots of other HD DVD keys stories floating around as well.
I am sure Digg and the crowd would remember the power of social media.
*Update*
Kevin Rose made it clear they WON'T delete anymore stories contain the code! [via Digg Blog]
Yes, Digg is compromising with the crowd!

THat was a really crazy day for Digg . But it was good to see Kevin Rose taking a bold step .
What I like is, the Digg management sense that they need to make a big move to keep their loyal users happy.
