Could you tell us more about Freenet (or give a pointer)?

Anyway. I think our best defence against prosecutions
could be the support of prominent individuals who share
our conception of freedom of speech, and maybe that of
major non-governmental organizations. Without such
support, "they" could call us a dangerous bunch of
extremists and jeopardize the whole project.

By the way, I'm a little disappointed to hear that RMS
himself announced he would never hold negationist material
on his servers. When negationists write their nonsense
down, it's so much easier to refute it.
