But the problem is that if you centralize it, "legitimize it" in the mainstream sense and give it a source of funding, it immediately makes it vulnerable to manipulation. It has to be an anonymous network of morally and ideologically driven individuals or it won't work. It's defense lays in it's anonymity. It's the most important factor. Assange got his shit pushed in because he was the single public face associated with Wikileaks.

But he's right about "deserves". It deserves it, but it won't get it without destroying everything that makes it effective.
