[freenet-support] The site ignores an important FAQ

Hello fellow paranoids!
I've spent ~a good hour on the site trying to find answers for 2 simple
yet important questions regarding insecure mode:
1. Can my ISP know what am I downloading/uploading to FreeNet?
2. Can the nodes I download/upload from (Read: NSA in disguise) see what
I'm doing?
Of course, we assume they don't use correlation attacks or any other
ridiculous & unlikely methods.
I believe the answer to the second question is "yes until 0.8", though
I'm not sure. The first question, however, is essentially unmentioned at
all, at least directly*. If both the ISP and connecting nodes can read
the content, then I find very little difference between FN and say,
Limewire!
Anyway it would be nice to see this info on the site in order to compare
between FreeNet and similar projects like I2P.
Thanks and keep it up :)
