Here is a good example of internet democracy at its best, apparently someguy called Doom9 manage to extract a string of numbers (a hexadecimal string, to be exact) that represents the master AACS key used in encrypting HD-DVD discs. A few days later someone got exicited about it and post a story about the crack together with the key, and it hit the front page of Digg, hours later it was removed from Digg’s front page, the second attempt saw the same consequences.

Just like these guys, I am excited about this whole democracy process that Digg created,and soon Digg cave in to the pressure by not removing any articles due to the flooding of such articles by the thousands. Digg CEO said it was clear he did not yet understand the chaos that was coming. The post only added fuel to the fire.
