And I have friends who watch porn in coed groups.  I think they're
weird, but then they probably say the same about my ex-poultry :)

Other classes of material: anything that could be seen as incitement
to revolt probably counts.  The difference between rebels that history
approves of vs condemns appears to be decided after the fact.  Having
Freenet be relevant to revolutions would be damaged by this, right? 
And it seems entirely reasonable for me to want to anonymize my
revolutionary plots by mixing them up with other people's searches for
deceased fowls.

Writings about drug use also come to mind, though these seem to be
relatively accepted on the public internet.  That probably isn't as
true in, say, much of Asia, though.

If you're not doing anything wrong, you have nothing to fear.
