Freenet Releases 0.7.0rc2

Posted by kdawson on from the information-wants-to-be dept.

evanbd writes "The Freenet Project has announced Freenet 0.7.0rc2. From the announcement: 'Freenet is a global peer-to-peer network designed to allow users to publish and consume information without fear of censorship. Freenet 0.7 is a ground-up rewrite of Freenet. The key user-facing feature in Freenet 0.7 is the ability to operate Freenet in a "darknet" mode, where your Freenet node will only talk to other Freenet users that you trust. This makes it much more difficult for an adversary to discover that you are using Freenet, let alone what you are doing with it. 0.7 also includes significant improvements to both security and performance.' Of course, for those of us who don't know anyone else running Freenet, or simply prefer it, there's also a non-darknet mode available."

      Give him a break, hes probably Britain. The country's filled with illegal immigrant terrorist paedophiles living in council houses. That's why we need more cameras. Pervasive surveillance is the answer to all of society's woes!

      Has it ever occurred to you to try, you know, moving to someplace with a better normal:kiddielover ratio? Someplace less like Freenet, in other words?

    I'll have you know our molasses-pouring operations have gotten much more efficient in recent years, you insensitive clod!

    (which, ironically, may be the figurative answer to your question)
