Comment on Freenet build 1495: new user experience and performanceparent

Comments

That’s not quite true.

Freenet protects communication — content in flow. Somewhat larger files that are not accessed automatically disappear from Freenet after a short while.

Tor protects your connection to another computer.

The stated usecases are excellent examples for usage of Freenet: information for transgender people or about abortions. Even accessing such information can get you in danger nowadays.

And a site accessed via Tor can more easily be compromised (to get your identity by tracking information from your OS or similar) or taken down (so the information is gone).
