"War" is an improper analogy[edit]
http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2010/03/schmidt-cyberwar/
The use of hacking, DDoSing, and virus propagation by governments is espionage, not warfare. This is business as usual just with newer technology. Calling this "i-war" is misleading, makes the public unnecessarily fearful, and can lead mass surveillance and censorship of the internet. Furthermore this article overlaps with "Cyber Warfare" (which I have suggested should be renamed to "Cyber Espionage") so I suggest this article be merged or deleted. -7th sojourn (talk) 19:24, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
