It might be nice it the world worked that way, but I don't think that's it. I think Daniel's use of "careful" is right on. Digg was transparent about what they were doing; the community still did not like it.
You have to do what your users want, simple as that. If what your users really want is openness and honesty that's what you give them. Digg's users want to be able decrypt dvds (even if in the abstract for most of them). They've had many accusations of lack of transparency in the past that went nowhere.
- mojuba 19y agoYour point about Digg is wrong, I think. It wasn't just the infamous encryption key. Digg was already known for inconsistent and at times unjustified moderation and many such stories went unnoticed for that reason - they were quickly removed. The HD-DVD was just a tipping point - for many perhaps only subconsciously. And this explains my point: Digg has never been honest and that eventually paid off.
