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 actively support or not-support any concept with the bandwidth, storage and processing resource they offer to the network as a peer.
