We saw the same sorts of issues when freenet came about. The problem is that if you build a purely anonymous system in an environment that is not oppressed (like the US), mostly people look at child porn, or share photos of people being totured/murdered/whatever. There is little logic to going to all the trouble to anonymize if you are doing something that is perfectly legal.

- nollidge 17y agoUnjust laws, identity theft, embarassing but perfectly legal activities... there's plenty of logic to going anonymous.
