"It has long been debated and rumored that Digg has an auto-bury feature that would automatically bury specific uses submissions. They have for a long time denied any such mechanism exists, but a recent incident with Digg user Nitmeh3 shows evidence to the contrary... through Digg's own admission." Well... almost.

Whatever the truth of this, I already find Digg a bit too corporatist, and this is likely just the start of how the owners of social media websites can influence what is going on. I suspect a lot more of this - a new kind of propaganda with the added delusion that it is somehow user-generated! Clever.
