Ian Clarke on Freenet and his Decision to Leave the USA (GrepLaw)
GrepLaw interviews
Ian Clarke. "Freenet is in active use in countries such as China
to permit the free distribution of information there despite government
censorship. A group, Freenet-China has taken Freenet and translated it to
Chinese for this very purpose. Freenet is also actively used in other
countries, including the United States, to distribute censored information
such as the Church of Scientology 'Operating Thetan' documents."
(Thanks to Joe "Zonker" Brockmeier).

Freedom Posted Sep 2, 2003 15:03 UTC (Tue) by jamienk (guest, #1144) [Link] Edinburgh is indeed a beautiful city; I lived there for almost a year during the first gulf war.NYC is also beautiful in its own ways. In legal terms (including the minutia or the law), which is freer? (eg, which city protects you better against libel laws?) Which is freer in terms of day-to-day living? (eg, in which city can you be flamboyantly gay with the least hassle?) At any rate, Freenet will give us next to no freedom unless we use it. Thank you, Ian, and bon voyage!

Freedom Posted Sep 2, 2003 15:34 UTC (Tue) by proski (subscriber, #104) [Link] Then Jakarta is also free. As an additional bonus, you get a better protection against terrorism laws. Ever heard of somebody acquitted of terrorist charges in other parts of the world?
Freedom Posted Sep 2, 2003 16:37 UTC (Tue) by mgrello (guest, #13433) [Link] I would hope if they didn't do it they would be acquitted.
Freedom Posted Sep 2, 2003 17:58 UTC (Tue) by tjc (guest, #137) [Link] Ever heard of somebody acquitted of terrorist charges in other parts of the world?It happens quite often in countries like Syria and Iran. Maybe some others too.
Ian Clarke on Freenet and his Decision to Leave the USA (GrepLaw) Posted Sep 3, 2003 12:15 UTC (Wed) by arcticwolf (guest, #8341) [Link] So long, and thanks for all the freenet, Ian.
