--===============0431757347== Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary=001a114d9c6e7a4daf05441c5d8e --001a114d9c6e7a4daf05441c5d8e Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Anyone can store anything onto the network. You do not know what is stored on your particular node since the data is encrypted and distributed. The entire goal of freenet is to provide storage such that - you don't know who inserted files - you don't know where the files are kept - if you access a node, you cannot actually discover what files the node is storing This gives the ability to deny any wrongdoing! This is much like how tor relay operators (NOT exit operators) can deny any responsibility for the content that passes through their nodes. In regards to your IP address question, people can see your IP since you need it to connect to *other people* in an opennet at least.. If you don't want strangers to know your IP, you can choose darknet mode which will only connect you to people you already trust. If you are using an opennet, people will be able to tell you are using freenet but as long as you are careful, no one can trace data to and from you.
