The real danger here is that citing webpages creates significant risk that the content will be altered in future.
For example, to re-write a portion of history:
1. Scan wikipedia for any broken links
2. Purchase domains
3. Reinstate links with different content
4. Update wikipedia article to represent changed content
We need a method of publicly verifying the contents of a link at the time it was cited.
Could we do something similar to bitcoin? Where we have a publicly available hash of each site when cited?
