Talk:Peer-to-peer

From Organic Design wiki

I sent this to the Ian Clarke's page on Freenet to see what he says (if anything):

Hello, I have a concern regarding control and cencorship which you may be interested in. One of the quesions in the InFrequentlyAskedQuestions concerned distribution of "undesirable" content, and the answer was that:
"Undesirables" are a personal view, and the biggest test of your commitment to bypass censorship is distributing materials that you consider "undesirable".
But I would think the fundamental philosophy of freenet would be of decentralisation, not the replacement of a control system imposing cencorship with another imposing the unconditional support of any content.
The solution is that every user should have the choice to actively support or not-support any concept with the bandwidth, storage and processing resource they offer to the network as a peer.

I agree with you Aran. People should be able to route traffic they want and deny traffic they don't. That is not censorship, as the message will still (probably)get through, just without my help. --Phalseid 12:55, 18 Feb 2006 (NZDT)


actually there seems to be a lot of good articles on p2p at masternewmedia, but it will take a while to weed thru them all [1] -- Infomaniac
