Simply distribute a freenet.conf (freenet.ini on Windows, I believe) which sets different bookmarks. Your users can still update freenet.jar from the main site, since once you set bookmarks in freenet.conf, they stay set and do not get changed on updating. You could even run your own spider and publish an index which lists sites you would be comfortable recommending to your readers. There is another advantage to running a node which has never retrieved TFE and the other uncensored indices: then the decryption keys for illegal sites have never been present on the node. Indeed, the decryption key to TFE has never been present on the node. Thus, for these users, the statement "I didn't know about any illegal content on Freenet" will pass the straight-face test, as will the statement "I didn't know the decryption keys for those sites." And if you don't tell them about the main freenet.org site at all, but just run a mirror with your own copies of the released software, they _really_ won't know about TFE, etc. You would need to provide a separate copy of Frost with different default boards, or just not mention it. > > While I understand it is only there to represent the complete > uncensored idea and freedom of speech, noone thats not involved > or new will not understand this the same way, and i also do not > agree with this kind of freedom of speech. > > While warez and other illegal things are tolerated, this > is not tolerated, even if i know the idea of freedom, i also do not > tolerate it, ill find it highly offensive to myself and i do > not want to get in contact with it > > What does freedom of speech mean? > > in the view to not censor it on the frontpages, freedom of speak > is isolated to itself, but freedom of speach is only "part" of freedom. > > And me and the most people think, that freedom is the right to be as > free as no others freedom gets destroyed.
