Hasn't someone created some kind of chunk/CHK filter already? (For
filtering local content?) And assuming someone else bothers to maintain
a database of undesirable stuff, that would suffice. Of course, it
would also severely compromise the anonymity of the undesirables (the
people), which defeats the purpose of Freenet. Which is to say, it's not
that it's technically impossible to do this, it's that we believe in
free speech.

Anyone is free to fork Freenet to only allow desirable content. Good
luck.
