Freenet is a decentralized, censorship-resistant distributed data store originally designed by Ian Clarke. Freenet aims to provide freedom of speech through a peer-to-peer network with strong protection of anonymity. Freenet works by pooling the contributed bandwidth and storage space of member computers to allow users to anonymously publish or retrieve various kinds of information. From a user’s perspective, it can be thought of as simply a large storage device. Freenet has been under continuous development since 2000; a version 1.0 has not yet been released but current builds are functionally usable. The project has already seen a ground-up rewrite for version 0.7, however.[2] Freenet is free software.
