If similar censorship methods had been levelled at a smaller, less popular cause that isn't a press and Twitter darling, it would likely be offline by now (or at the very least see its operation much more seriously affected). So if (say) those who point to a page have a random tendency to cache it just in case, they should coordinate so that hose who point to the less popular sites should increase their chance of being a mirror in order to make sure that everything will end up being mirrored somewhere -- and you can find it automatically by following the backlink?

With a more elaborate service requiring complex setup, or the synching of a DB, it would be far more problematic. In other words, we shouldn't take WikiLeaks' resilience as a general indication. Of course standards help. Linked data can be mirrored of course just like HTML. A Sparql service is weel-defined, a mirror can get a copy of the data in a standard transfer format, stick it in their favorite triple store, and turn on SPARQL. But it isn't automatic. > > -- > Robin Berjon - http://berjon.com/ > > > > >Received on Monday, 6 December 2010 16:05:25 GMT
