Source[1] that I read prior to my comment, which is under the thread[2] "Suspect jailed indefinitely for refusing to decrypt hard drives". The discussion was along the lines of, if you have encrypted data, and the state "knows" it has illegal content, your not decrypting it makes you liable for it. Thus the extrapolation to use of Freenet, which forwards encrypted content from others, and is heavily littered with CP[3], according to HN commenters.
