Digg, also known as Digg.com, is a website that allows users to democratically rate and comment on short articles posted to it. Each post has a single link to web page. Digg itself is arguably neutral on political issues but a large portion of the base have liberal/progressive views.

Digg has been accused of being stricter on conservatives’ poster then other groups. Digg has said that it treats all groups equally. In their defense they have said that many of the individuals that were banned were publishing hate speech such as articles by the American Nazi Party and outright lies.

Starting at approximately January or 2007 a disproportionate number of posting about Ron Paul have been showing up on the site's home page. This is due to the fanatical support from Paul's base. The number of articles has been steadily decreasing starting in April of 2007 as Ron Paul is failing to generate significant numbers at various Republican caucuses.
