Freenet: An Open Source, Anonymous Voice for Anyone
,----[ Quote ]
| Freenet is a decentralized lash-up of computing resources designed to foil
| censhorship on the Internet, and allow anyone to publish information
| anonymously from anywhere. It may be of particular value to users in
| censorship-heavy parts of the world such as China, where saying the wrong
| thing on a blog can lead to jail time. As you may recall, some of the first
| reports to the rest of the world about the Tiananmen Square massacre in 1989
| came from online users breaking Chinese censorship laws.
