Doesn't that make sense from a defense standpoint? If my house was under seige from a gang like let's say, the police. And my kids started posting pictures and videos from the inside of the house showing that I am not watching the back windows. Doesn't that make attack very trivial? People even unwittingly can post a vulnerability that americans and isrealis would immediately jump on. It's not really a difficult calculation to make. Whether that is a good or bad system depends on other centralization factors more so than comms channels.

Exactly. Cyber attacks being part of modern warfare, only a fool would leave internet fully open and Israel already attacked the banking system last year. Its not even optional now. Any rational nation state would have a national intranet to fall back on

Eh, I think the genie is out of the bottle. Better to educate people about OPSEC, and align incentives in the global populous to deter large scale conflict to begin with. You can't eliminate all conflict, but if humanity can avoid the really big wars, then that seems like a win.
