Wow, that's rather shocking. I'm totally serious. My impression was that it was trying to be a real anonymous publication system suitable for actual use in saying unpopular things. If this is all it is don't you have a moral obligation include a big disclaimer on the fproxy frontpage or in the installation notes or something? It seems it would be a good idea to advise all of the Chinese who we have been crowing about using Freenet that perhaps they should look elsewhere also because they are putting their freedom on the line. > your anonymity, I suggest you try Earth Station 5, its developers tell > us that its just *great*!

You never said anything to this effect when people started putting things in the network that could get them sent to prison so it was rather implicit. And now after finding that fred is unable to open /dev/random on my system due to what appears to be a bug (opening for write instead of read) I am now worried about the security of the encryption due to lack of entropy. I'm glad I don't use freenet for anything illegal/unpopular but I'm quite worried for those who do. -- Tracy Reed http://copilotconsulting.com
