Something on IRC: [00:09:32] <Tster> can what happened on Tor recently happen on freenet? [00:10:51] <toad_> no [00:11:01] <toad_> there was no attack on Tor itself [00:11:47] <toad_> as far as we know, the person arrested hosted a load of hidden services for other people ... and he didn't hide that fact very well, he was widely known/speculated to be connected to Freedom Hosting [00:12:14] <toad_> plus, content on freenet doesn't go away just because the person who uploaded it goes away / gets grabbed / etc [00:12:32] <Tster> thanks bro [00:12:34] <toad_> content on freenet will persist for as long as people access it [00:12:57] <toad_> https://freenetproject.org/faq.html#tor [00:13:05] <toad_> have a look at that [00:13:54] <toad_> freenet is not necessarily more secure than tor - at least not in its current state of mostly opennet and no tunnels - but it's easier to (relatively safely) upload content to freenet than to tor, and it's less centralised [00:14:13] <toad_> and in the long run freenet could be a lot more secure - if we can build a global f2f darknet
