If not, will future developments in Freenet facilitate this? Not unless someone opens up a public fproxy I guess, and who would want to? Actually I considered this not more than 8 hours ago, when thinking about the wikileaks "takedown"/censoring. It went something like this: People _really_ should start using freenet for this sort of information. The problem is that people are too lazy to install freenet "just" too see some sensitive information. Hey, I should open up a http proxy for freenet, and then manually add filters when government agencies start complaining. The filtered pages would simply say: "please install freenet to see this page, since the legal system has asked me not to show this". The hope is that by moderating things manually, I would not be prosecuted for anything (hopefully) and people will at least get a chance to see information before it is banned. Removal of domainnames though, as for wikileaks, is really not a working measure as can be seen by the numerous alternative domain-names now up instead. So, the internet, for the moment at least, seems to do sort-of-fine without freenet. For this sort of information, at least. --- John Bäckstrand _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list [email protected] http://emu.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech
