But on Friday, the British website Guido Fawkes said that BuzzFeed had
recently removed another post that was critical of the board game
Monopoly, shortly after it entered a deal with Hasbro, the company
behind the game. Mr. Smith said in a note on Friday that he had
decided to restore both posts. "I blew it," Mr. Smith wrote in a note
to the BuzzFeed staff. "Twice in the last couple of months, I've asked
editors -- over their better judgment and without any respect to our
standards or process -- to delete recently published posts from the
site." Both, he said, involved the same issue: "my overreaction to
questions we've been wrestling with about the place of personal
opinion pieces on our site."
