Q: Has anyone got into trouble for their anonymous activities while running Freenet? A: US law enforcement can identify anonymous users of Freenet[1] and Tor[2]. It is reasonable to assume that other governments have access to the same technology, which is provided by private contractors. If you are concerned about governments, you should use darknet mode, and bear in mind that no current anonymity technology provides perfect protection.
And possibly: While we applaud the US police's apparent success in apprehending suspects allegedly sharing child abuse images, many governments persecute and prosecute political dissidents for legitimate speech published online. Therefore we hope to further improve Freenet's security in future, to protect its legitimate users. We do not have the ability to easily identify users of Freenet downloading specific files.
