If y'all only try to see if there is CSAM and then uninstall when you succeed, then of course the CSAM percentage will become high because only the CSAM perverts do not leave! So instead keep using it and actually put…
So we must shut down all hotels because they all unknowingly hosted some illegal activities in their rooms, e.g. if someone met a prostitute there? In fact we cannot have people rent out condos or houses anymore either…
The anonymized routing prevents them from tracking the source to your computer. If someone downloads something on Freenet they don't know where it is coming from.
Freenet does not give you the decryption keys to the data you host, you don't know what you're hosting, hence you're not responsible for what it could be decrypted to. And even if law enforcement could successfully…
If I read this correctly it implies that Freenet's opennet does not work anymore? So you can only connect to Freenet with this setup if you already know someone else who uses Freenet and peer with them manually…
Yeah there are no official flatpaks or docker images so you were using 3rd-party software and this is not Freenet's fault :) Perhaps you can update your topmost post to mention that? The official installers are here:…
So the issue was that the default bookmarks contained a site directory - "index" in Freenet terminology - which was not properly filtered by its author. IIRC Freenet's current policy is to only add indexes to the…
> I tried to connect to freenet last year and I literally couldn't work it out. Sorry but that must have been a bug or misconfiguration on your machine: It should connect to the network by default without any tinkering.…
There is a merged pull request to migrate to libera.chat, it seems it just has not been deployed to the webserver yet: https://github.com/freenet/website/pull/98 I would blindguess that this was caused by Travis CI…
I've been using Freenet for 12 years and have not run into CSAM involuntarily, and of course also not voluntarily! So I don't know how you get the impression that "public servers are off limits"? It is possible that…
Freenet has been in development for 21 years.
Freenet is not a point-to-point network. I.e. you cannot address a specific computer on Freenet by something like an IP. (Well you can, but you shouldn't want to, will explain below.) Freenet is a datastore: It…
Freenet's default feature is HTML sites - just like the regular web but fully hosted on Freenet and only accessible through it. The content of those sites is whatever their authors want it to be :) Further, dynamic…
Freenet development is NOT dead! :) I have been contributing for ~ 12 years and now have acquired long-term funding (independent of Freenet's own funding!) to continue my contributions in a more intense fashion. The…
