&gt; &quot;but to a first approximation, nobody actually uses Freenet&quot;<p>There&#x27;s a very good reason for that. The people that know about Freenet and could promote it won&#x27;t because of the issues it has with CP. Due to the distributed nature of the platform, and the high volume of CP that is supposedly hosted there (I&#x27;ve never used it, but that&#x27;s what I&#x27;ve heard) you basically can&#x27;t use Freenet without hosting CP.
