Freenet currently takes the simpler route of suggesting to use the phones' IME (because that isn’t already proven to send all keystrokes). It is likely that using Freenet in opennet-mode can get you on a watchlist — but you’re already

Why do you think so? 99% of people would block someone who shares CSAM. And in Freenet’s moderation systems blocking automatically propagates to those who truts your judgement. So normal people would expunge CSAM, too. Just by wanting to re

But you are not safe to discuss anything on most Chinese smartphones regardless of the App, because common input methods in China (optimized software keyboards) send all your keystrokes to their servers. Freenet actually warns you about tha

Groups of people from very different backgrounds discussing politics for more than a decade without lifting their pseudonyms, in Forums that actually persist while most forums in the clearnet died? For me that’s a compelling use-case.

The release this year adds streaming video on demand over Freenet and fixes the pitch black attack. And confidential Friend-to-Friend Chat over Freenet as Android App. Last year saw Freenet ported to Android. There are a lot of changes stil

Which is exactly what Freenet provides, because it is needed to prevent censorship by spamming. Along with pseudonymity that prevents people from pressuring you into voting as they wish.

In the concrete case, Freenet runs quite well on a Pi3. Just do not activate the Sone- and WoT-plugin (they are quite resource-hungry).

There were also times in history when technology and knowledge got lost in religious zealotry. Some of it we are only now trying to recover. We don’t know how much is still missing. If information is of real value — like vaccines — … do you

A pull-request (or repo) with a flatpak recipe would be very welcome, too. Though distro-packaging in Guix is still far superior to a flatpak, because it gives the freedom of flatpaks but integrates much better.

Yes to the first. To the second no: In Freenet 0.5 there was a plugin for that, but for 0.7 this has not been written yet. You can write that, but you cannot check what exactly it would block. Whom do you trust to censor you? The devs canno

That it faced little protest is not true. It only faced little protest in the streets , because most responsible people stayed at home during the pandemic. The protest online was loud.

The goal is to publish a story. Hiding the identity of a source is a way towards that goal. The journalist does not need privacy or confidentiality to publish. The source does. And without the source, there’s no story.

Freenet provides both: Secrecy of content and pseudonymity — both are required to enable confidential disclosure to a journalist on the (typically valid) assumption that the opsec of the journalist is far from perfect.

The balance has been that the cops can take you into custody when there is suspicion against you, but if you’re not suspected of a heinous crime, they are not allowed to read your diary. In the past decade that has been shifting more and mo

I’d suggest to delay that to tomorrow :-) An OSX package manager should work (I have no current OSX to test that, though).

As usual. And they wrongly claim that you find that by chance. Reality is: You don’t, except if you go searching for it. Just like in the clearnet.

You might want to check again. If you use the indexes, the current forum systems (FMS) or the social network (Sone), you are very unlikely to find any of that stuff without actively going searching for it. The days where many people posted

None of the points you note here are advantages of maidsafe over Freenet — except maybe the later crypto primitives (though these aren’t necessarily safer). But your link has one important point: "Freenet…is more a exchange and communi
