:-) I love the Freenet Idea, and this is a positive thread I have made.
I have been reading the newest documentation for freenet 0.7, and as I interpret it, freenet is not anomymous to use for me, and most other freenet newbies, as we do not have any "friends" to exchange "reference nodes" with, and we are not clever enough to use freenet as the few "freenet experts" can. Freenet has become fairly easy to install and use, and it has become fast. But, is It dangerous to use? People may think they are in safe territory. This is how I believe it is, and would like to hear some comments on this MOST IMPORTANT ISSUE, from the "freenet experts" - and to create some serious debate, to really make freenet anonymous for ALL PEOPLE of the world. Until that time: Should ordinary people be told not to use freenet in an anonymous way until a new safe freenet version arrives? I do not say, that freenet cannot be used anonymously, but only for a small exclusive group of smart people who know how to. I had hoped that freenet was a really free place to be for everyone, where really free expression of speech and thought could be executed. A really anonymous Freenet is urgently needed, now more than ever, and it should at best be as easy to use as the ordinary Internet - that would be a revolution!
