This sounds interesting, but let's see how it plays out. People creating hip new fuckthegov tech are a dime a dozen, but they ignore existing solutions that have existed for years, such as Syndie, which is mainly used on the I2P network, but is compatible with Tor, Freenet, email, usenet, hell anything when it gets built in. That's the point of it. I2P is seriously underappreciated, even though it encourages torrents and P2P.

I2P is more secure than Tor, anyway. I would argue that Freenet is the most secure of them all, seeing that the hard disk information is distributed among everyone on the network.

Freenet isn't that good anymore, since they went to a pure darknet model. The only active freesites are pedo related.

...oh. In that case, never mind.

I2P also supports this with Tahoe-Lafs over I2P.
