No, they never do this. Trust me, I wrote many thousands of comments, some of
which very unflattering to Microsoft. I even included PDFs about Microsoft in
submissions, filed them under UNIX/Linux and these never got me reprimanded or
been removed. Digg rarely censors. It only saw one submission removed and I
suspect misfiling was the reason (I put a Free software video under
UNIX/Linux, not Videos). They also removed a comment once or twice, but it
only makes like 0.01% of the whole.
