The Wikileaks scandal is more than just a diplomatic scuffle; it’s a war for the future of the Internet ⇢

I wrote a quick post with a few scenarios on where this could lead us: Wikileaks and the future. This article is relevant for this… Even if I think more things are at stake than just the Internet.

You’ll have been following the Wikileaks saga, of course, because it is novel and interesting. Maybe you like it because it looks like a live action retelling of Enemy Of The State, or because history seems to be in the making. It feels big, doesn’t it? It is, but it’s bigger than that, too: what we’re witnessing right now is the opening of hostilities in the first big infowar. The war for the Internet is very big indeed.

If you’re not a digital native, or if you’re some kind of hearty outdoors type, this may not seem important, but you’re dead wrong. We could be spectators for the start of the cyber Great War – and they’ve just knocked over Franz Ferdinand.
