The Freenet Project or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Darknet
by Citizen Bane on Dec.21, 2009, under Heavy

Prologue: I started writing this article about two months ago. I was in the final stages of wrapping it up when Andy Beckett of the Guardian released an excellent article about “The Darknet” and specifically Freenet. Now, it’s not like I was scooped or anything. Freenet isn’t exactly new news. I just figured, “Damn… What he wrote is really similar to what I’m writing…” Oh well, information wants to be free and more information is always better so I decided to do two things. 1. Rework my article into something a bit different. 2. Hold off on releasing it for a few weeks. Anyway, here it is.
I’m writing about the subject of darknet. Why? Because I think that they’re just plain cool. I mean come on, totally anonymous, encrypted networks that are essentially untraceable! Tell me that doesn’t make every techno-thriller spy novel reading nerve in your body twinge in glee? Yes? Keep reading. No? Go here, this is the article that you want.
