What is Freenet?
Freenet enables users to anonymously share files, browse and publish web content, and engage in online discussions without the risk of censorship. This decentralized platform operates in a "darknet" mode, where users only connect to their trusted contacts, making it challenging to detect. Freenet's design prioritizes privacy and security, allowing individuals to freely express themselves and access information without the fear of surveillance or interference
