Not unless someone opens up a public fproxy I guess, and who would want
to? Actually I considered this not more than 8 hours ago, when thinking
about the wikileaks "takedown"/censoring. It went something like
this:
People _really_ should start using freenet for this sort of information.
The problem is that people are too lazy to install freenet "just" too
see some sensitive information. Hey, I should open up a http proxy for
freenet, and then manually add filters when government agencies start
complaining. The filtered pages would simply say: "please install
freenet to see this page, since the legal system has asked me not to
show this". The hope is that by moderating things manually, I would not
be prosecuted for anything (hopefully) and people will at least get a
chance to see information before it is banned.
Removal of domainnames though, as for wikileaks, is really not a working
measure as can be seen by the numerous alternative domain-names now up
instead. So, the internet, for the moment at least, seems to do
sort-of-fine without freenet. For this sort of information, at least.
