Does in freenet prevails the rule of the strongest?
If I have money, wants to make available my propaganda materials on
freenet and put out my political enemyes, I can "simply" put up a
cluster of computers with high bandwidth to iteratively request my
propaganda.
My portion of popularity would grow up, and my content will steal disk
space to other publisher's.
Is my political opponent more rich than me? Well, it will put up TWO
clusters, and double the b/w.
Slowly, the only way to publish something in freenet would be to set up
at minimum a very powerfull server to autorequest my material.
The fight will grow up, and at the end... only usual big ones will
remain capable of publishing their content on "free"net, because any
other content would be considered not enougth "popular" to be stored on
the distributed disk...
That's why it would be a good idea to be able to insert content into your local node and have it be kept there.
You can do that with a little bit of effort but having this ability built in would be a good idea. Thus if the keys are read only they won't be deleted by someone trying to do a massive insert, or by these individuals trying to request their content over and over so it spreads.
