Is there any legal means to verify thoses lists? If
it becomes common practice for nodes to censor their
stores based on lists provided by the police or
government then Freenet will have failed. It won't
exactly be free any more, will it? What will happen
then is everyone will just move over to i2p.
Eventually it's going to come down to wether you have
a right to communicate on the 'net without government
oversight or not (ie you can use encryption). If
there are any legal avenues to communicate anonymously
then they will be exploited.
