Freenet's default feature is HTML sites - just like the regular web but fully hosted on Freenet and only accessible through it.

The content of those sites is whatever their authors want it to be :)

Further, dynamic applications such as forums are also available. Here's a list of apps built on top of Freenet: https://github.com/freenet/wiki/wiki/Projects

Freenet needs UDP so it likely won't work on Tails as Tails tunnels everything through Tor - which does not support UDP AFAIK.

Freenet can be run through Tor using Onioncat as a virtual network. [0]

If I read this correctly it implies that Freenet's opennet does not work anymore?

So you can only connect to Freenet with this setup if you already know someone else who uses Freenet and peer with them manually ("darknet").

A network vending child pornography should not be happy about this. This should be a terrifying warning to you.

Unfortunately you don't see it as a genuine problem, so you explain it away.

for a society to have freedom of speech there absolutely has to be a „safe“ way to host csam.

bad developers that make excuses for a network that won't stop the delivery of child pornography by hiding behind false ethical arguments
