If you're going to do any processing on the data you're going to need to decrypt it, and then you'll need the keys. And unless you -really- trust random people on the net, you'll probably want to run that processing in some sort of sandboxed environment. I went one step further and put it in a VM, since that should be easier to close down.
Just running a Freenet node doesn't it of course, but I was thinking of the 'peer-to-peer servers in the cloud' thing.
