toad i havent trusted you since 0.7 began and i may never trust you agian. this is part of why.
quote from a slashdot comment by http://slashdot.org/~paganizer http://yro.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=547480&cid=23344166 >Back around when the developers started talking about the darknet concept >in the first place the stated reason for doing so was so that child >pornography could be blocked. Which is good. But if you can block kiddy >porn, you can block anything. which is bad. I know dark net is not >anonymous and private, whatever their present day arguments are, because >that was their stated intent. i very much remember this talk of blocking kiddie porn being part of what darknet and other 'features' of 0.7 was supposed to accomplish. granted, kiddie porn is evil and deserves to be blocked. however as the quote points out if you can block that you can block anything. i also remember statements of intent to block or make difficult trading of copyrighted files. while trading such may be illegal and even wrong in some cases, that stated goal is contrary to freenet's purpose. that author was right, i remember those stated intents and no matter how well archives have been scrubbed others remember them too. _______________________________________________ Support mailing list Support@freenetproject.org http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.support Unsubscribe at http://emu.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support Or mailto:support-requ...@freenetproject.org?subject=unsubscribe
