I don't have anyone reaching into my pocket to fund most things that are researched.
Why should I want the government to take my money in the form of taxes and spend it on something that has not been proven and is still on in the research stage?
If I want to pay for the research, I can donate to any of the organizations who are performing the research.
The Freenet designers have taken incredible steps to ensure that no Freenet communication that has been intercepted can have its start point or finish point determined. This can only be done if you know for sure that all communication going through your server originated from the server that it came from and was not passed through by that server from somewhere else. You cannot identify that by looking at the communications received or sent by your server. You would need some other way to determine this such as a packet sniffer (Carnivore) or phone tap.
