When porn turned parody turns into farce

November 15, 2007 by Peter Fletcher

Here it is, one of the biggest jokes circulating the Internet today. As reported on the Lessig Blog, social bookmarking site, Digg, has removed what they call “adult content” despite all of the content of the video having been previously shown on the Fox News Network.

Cool work Digg, nice to see you becoming the new world censorship authority. The world needs another one – not!

UPDATE: As of last night Digg has done the right thing and removed the restriction.
