Freenet is exactly what was being discussed. He wasn't looking for support for illegal activities, he was looking for support for Freenet, which he happened to be using in a way that in certain countries is illegal. So should we refuse support to anyone asking for help with freenet if their use of it happens to be illegal in, say, China?
