Initially, Tor and I2P only pass information from one node to another while obfuscating it. At either end, you can now what the information is, but you do not know where it went through. It's basically a tunnel that goes somewhere. It is why you can use Tor to browse the web: you just use it to hide where you are connecting from. On the other hand, Freenet is a paranoia-driven network over the Internet which makes information available and resilient. There is no such thing as a webserver on Freenet. An encrypted version of the data is sent to some nodes and passed from one to another. You don't know where the information comes from, you just get it at some point. Finally, Tor implemented hidden services. This is almost the opposite of the initial situation where an user wants to access a known website without being known. The hidden service is hosted on some node, and you access it through the "Tor tunnel", meaning that you don't know where the service is. The user is still hidden by the network too.
