It's ambitious, but between Tor, Freenet, and other building blocks there's a lot to start with. Seems like a great Summer of Code project.

- joe_the_user 16y agoFreenet is great as an uncensorable web-like-system. But it's kind of monolithic. It would be nice to build a freenet-like system out of modular parts. I think Tribble has the beginnings of something like this. http://www.tribler.org/ http://www.tribler.org/ It overlays a "gossip network" on top of the bittorent protocol. I'd see the ideal uncensorable Internet as consisting of fall-backs from the ordinary protocols and processes. If the user can't find the DNS of a site, they look using an alternative dns system. If they can't find the IP, they use something like Tribble to find the thing. This would be done as a browser plugin. Another piece would be to have particular authors embed their public keys into whatever text they write. A user could search with Tribble or whatever for more works by that author out of outside of ordinary web search. Such a system would verify authorship and "source" without the need for a centralized certificating authority.
