Why is Freenet interesting?
• Freenet does not have any form of centralized control or administration. • It will be virtually impossible to forcibly remove a piece of information from Freenet. • Both authors and readers of information stored on this system may remain anonymous if they wish. • Information will be distributed throughout the Freenet network in such a way that it is difficult to determine where information is being stored. • Anyone can publish information. They don’t need to buy a domain name or even a permanent Internet connection. • Availability of information will increase in proportion to the demand for that information. • Information will move from parts of the Internet where it is in low demand to areas where demand is greater.
