The logic of this escapes me. I'll explain below. > 2. If you are doing things LE wants to know badly and they already know > your physical identity, nothing can protect you.

Is that a fact, am I on an 'open' Darknet, connected to Opennet too, less vulnerable, also towards an evil 'friend'? > 3. You do not give your Darknet friends your in-Freenet identities.

I had not thought of separating real life friends from FN 'friends', because I have understood exchanging noderefs requires real-life trust in the other person. That trust implies shared interests so we'd be friends on Freenet too. I am not telling anyone I use Freenet, if only for the obvious question why I need it. - Well, maybe I do not need it but I do feel anonymity and encryption is important. - Oh? For what? - Protection against the all-seeing eyes of Google, NSA... for which reasons I hate Facebook and so on.. technics are interesting.. mail is very unsafe.. it's a rat race of encryption against NSA spionage.. - Man what a bullshit. Ain't you got something better to do? For that reason you run a complicated, slow network? I should encrypt mails to you? The NSA is interested in our cracked programs? - Yes they read everything.. all talks over phone are registered.. worldwide spy industry.. will you read wikileaks? - Alu hat? I can't afford Freenet friends. Few understand, most don't want to know any of this. Am I wrong that exchanging noderefs makes you more vulnerable towards a 'friend', also more vulnerable over the net? That person knows my IP adress, that I run a node and a lot about the person I am in real life, because we should trust eachother. Our ID's on Freenet and our reallife id's are linked. But I can't know what my friend does and hides from me. He can make me unsafe for our shared 'secrets', even if there aren't any. Now nobody in real life knows that I run a node. My ISP and LE can see it, but FN should be designed to keep them from knowing what I talk about or who I am on Freenet. My reallife me is separated from the FN 'me'. That feels more safe to me. Is that false logic?
