Story broke yesterday earlier morning of a underground Digg conspiracy group that called themselves: Digg Patriots. The purpose of the group was to work together and deliberately vote down specific users story submissions and comments that appeared to be “Left-Leaning” politically. In essence breaking Digg rules.
Background
A writer who goes by the name oleoleolson broke the story (which I have titled, Diggergate) on AlterNet’s blog with great detail. I for one would like to applaud Mr. OleOleOlson for some great undercover work. You should really apply for the Chris Hansen‘s position at Dateline when he retires. Screenshots, quotes, facts, and usernames; I haven’t seen one report that accuses this is a false report.
