"The first serious infowar is now engaged. The field of battle is WikiLeaks. You are the troops."

That is very helpful context; thank you for sharing.

Given JPB's personal history and the climate of censorship at Harvard, I'm wondering if there will be any fallout from that tweet.

Given JPB's record of saying what he wants when he wants and rarely seeing any fallout, I am guessing that the answer is "no".

interesting how it is pertinent again with the .p2p effort to make a decentralized DNS system, independent of governmental authority.

WikiLeakiaspora?

So, two links near the top of HN are from 1996? Is December Internet History Month?

Or internet discovery month, for those that did not travel this part of the internet during those times. The age of an article does not necessarily negate its worthiness of being read or spoken about.

Sure, I just thought it was a funny coincidence.

Fair enough
