I'm sorry, I have to disagree with you. You control who your node connect with, but you *don't* control what goes through your node. You can control your friends, you cannot control friends of your friends. So we might consider that, _in the case of Freenet_, F2F is P2P, it's just extremely more difficult to censor.
