Freenet encrypts content, parcels it into chunks and distributes those chunks amongst peers. Does this meet your definition of "distributed content farm that might place CP on my computer"?

I'm curious because I've seen objections to Freenet for that reason yet the content stored is in no way CP. No bad content can be reconstructed from the data in your store. Not just because it's encrypted but because you'd be holding random small chunks of the file.

The vast majority of Freenet content is probably about Freenet itself (Web of trust data, Sone traffic, FMS traffic), not bad content.

Those chunks are intended to be used as child porn, and the "you can't tell its child porn" objection is a weak one for those who don't want to be part of its distribution on moral grounds.
