No, no we can't. As we've discussed, OpenNet is a tradeoff of anonymity

The main idea is that
-- you actually (hopefully) know and trust each of your peers,

May be I have watched too many 007 movies, but what if one of your
trusted peers is actually a double agent?
That's a good question. Maybe someone more knowlegeable can help flesh
out the details, but I

Yes, effectively. (Opennet behaves a little differently -- your
neighbouring peers are constantly being swapped and optimized to
approach a small-world topology.)
Does this mean that in Darknet mode the peers are not swapped?
The main advantage, I believe, is security -- opennet nodes are

Correct. They're fixed. They are your trusted friends.
OK, I can see how the constant swapping may give a malicious member

Freenet will route through that node (any request that is not
found in the local darknet, and vice versa, outside opennet searches
will hopefully penetrate into that dark corner.)
If by ignorance or unintentionally a member joins another darknet or
No, it would not become the opennet as your node is still connected to mostly
nodes who share your interest and who also connect mostly to nodes that share
your interest. Thus you are still having the routing advantages of small world
routing.
If you carry that operation to everyone doing what

Please upgrade, especially if you run a seednode.
Terrific, I will upgrade my multiple nodes to this new build.
I have a question and I hope I am understanding the concept of seednodes.
Does the concept of seednodes apply to Darknets?
Specifically,

No. Seednodes are open/public/known nodes that are used to initially
connect to the opennet. Darknet refers to
dark/private/probably-unknown friends of yours that you explicitly
trust.
When you say multiple darknets -- do you mean disconnected from
the rest of opennet / separate networks, with only content provided
by those nodes?
When I say multiple darknets I mean completely separate but under an off-band
control.
For example, I create a darknet for my tennis friends

Not possible. Unless you can force your people not to enable opennet,
