Yes, I lost my temper, and I do apologize. When I see a post from a DOJ
address giddily claiming that one of the only forums for international
dissemination of political information, is abetting lawbreaking because
someone, somewhere, might have posted a nasty picture, I do tend to blow a
fuse. I see now that Mr Findley is using Hotmail instead, so I can assume
he is just speaking for himself, which is fine.
What is quite interesting is that whenever a free speech issue arises, it
is often attacked with the claim that it is supporting illegal
pornography. I get a bit tired of this, and while there are convictions in
the U.S., I believe it has yet to stand up in appeals court. Why can't we
look at how important information can be archived in freenet? I bet that
there is at least one illegal picture somewhere on Earthlink, Hotmail,
Verizon, etc. Does that make them criminal?
As to freenet being insecure, I am talking about an issue I saw some time
ago. Perhaps it has now been solved. It is the Trojan node attack. A false
freenet node whose purpose is to collect all of the node IP addresses it
can, and then piece together the documents stored across these nodes, and
the location and owner of each node. By acting like a freenet node, the
Trojan is able to slowly creep through the network, one node at a time.
Once this is done, and the information pieced together, a well funded
organization can break open the documents with a few days of parallel
cracking.
Am I way off base here?
