The heart of the matter is that Digg is a company, and they fear being sued for this, just as Google is being sued for all the nimrods that are using Youtube for content belonging to the MPAA/RIAA/MAFIA. The fact is that maybe one in hundred thousand digg users even comprehend what those hex values mean, and on in maybe 50k know what hex is(well there are always the charmed fans who will think it means spell of some sort lol) But regardless of that, those values are so google cached now, in MD5 format, as IP addresses, as the hex result to math problems etc. that there is no way to suppress the data, so now all the AOL err Myspace err Digg users (really all the same thing) need to take a pharmaceutical level qualude and chill. What I find really funny is the owner stepping up and posting the data himself after 3-plus hours of it being posted and removed, basically he told everyone the score to the Superbowl a week later and expected them to be impressed.
Honestly, my memory is quirky, I am stuck with knowing that string forever now. My brain is in violation of the law, and I cannot even use Safe Harbor provisions because there is no way to remove the content...sigh.
