Fracturing P2P Networks
A reader writes: "If you run Freenet and have noticed that you practically can't access anything on the network, you are not alone; a group of Freenet users has organized a Freenet Revolt by forming a separate network running an old, proven build of Freenet, and things have been heating up on the freenet-devel mailing list with a scary declaration by project leader Ian Clarke that Freenet is a research project and has always been, which scared some list members, since Freenet has been actively promoted as a production network and has a sensitive userbase, including Chinese dissidents. Some people are already moving to similar networks like GNUnet and Entropy. " Of course, that does sound different then what has been said before.
To quote Lenin:
Terrorists create terror.
A dissident is somebody with a differing, unpopular political belief.
Vaclav Havel was a dissident. Karl Marx was a dissident.
A terrorist is a person who commits acts intending to terrorise a population into submitting to said terrorists agenda (Note that this is distinctly seperate from war, which is a violent dispute between governments). Osama bin Laden is a Terrorist. Yasser Arafat is a Terrorist, Che Guevara was a Terrorist.
