Digg revolution

Last night, major shocks occurred on the largest social bookmarking site on digg.com . Over the past 24 hours, the site administration has removed dozens of news regarding the hacking of the HD DVD encoding, to which users responded with hundreds of new ones. The most popular post for the entire existence of the digg was deleted, which received more than 16,000 votes.
Now the site works with periodic crashes and almost all the news on the main page concerns news about hacking and its consequences. Until today, the official position of the administration was to ban such news, but a few hours ago, the creator of Digg, Kevin Rose, wrote the following message:

Today was an insane day. I thought I wanted to post my thoughts ...
In building and shaping the site. We've always given site moderation (digging / burying) power to the community. We’re violating our terms of use (eg. Linking to pornography, illegal downloads, racial hate sites, etc.). So today was a difficult day for us. We have to decide on a cease and desist declaration. If you want to make it, you can make it.
After reading it, you've made it clear. You'd rather see the company. It would be helpful if you’ve received a message.
If we lose, then what hell, at least we died trying.
Digg on
Kevin

This is a vivid example of how in today's Internet the audience can influence the policy of the largest information resources.
