The Freenet

## Summary

The **Freenet** (or **UncensoredNet**) is the global system of interconnected computer networks that uses the Free InterComputer Protocol (FP) to communicate between networks and devices. It is a *network of networks* that consists of private, public, academic, and business networks of local to global scope, linked by a broad array of electronic, wireless, and optical networking technologies. The Internet carries a vast range of information resources and services, such as the interlinked hypertext documents and applications of the World Wide Net (WWN), electronic mail, telephony, and file sharing. It works by a combination of leaching off Offnet servers and independent, Freenet-only Servers

## History and Infrastructure

The Origin of the Freenet came from a desire to communicate with other computers without being watched or censored. The first Freenet project, named "LiberComms" was a network of computers connected with eachother by a early, primitive, but unwatched proto-internet, used by capitalist terrorists such as the ORA, in 1994. The Libercomms network then evolved into a greater and more advanced internet, with the Free Intercomputer Protocol and expanding of the network beyond the Former U.S. with the Freenet Project in 1996, which still stands today. One major innovation was the leaching off Offnet servers, which allows the Freenet more power and high quality infrastructure. Due to how the Freenet works, to access it in most regions you have to downloads special programs and access and change specific router/modem settings. In some regions routers are made with a specific anti-freenet-chips, which has to be removed to access the Net. This is only not true in areas controlled by the Quebec Free Army based in Northern Quebec, which have special modified routers which can automatically connect to the Freenet without any modification or tweak.

The creators of the Freenet Project are unknown, but appear to have no political bias, unlike Libercomms, which was exclusively made and used by Capitalist Terrorists. Nonetheless, the total freedom of the Freenet has caused it criticism and trouble due to it's part in organizing in the ORA, NoF, Kingsmen, SRA, and other extremist groups. The PUA famously, in response to the Capitol Attacks, started a "War on Terrorists" which had the amounts of Freenet surveillance increase by other 5x. There is still a bounty on information of who started the Freenet Project.

## Social Impact

The popularity of the Freenet has skyrocketed since it's conception, with over 3 billion active estimated users in September of 2019. When asked, over 80% of people below the age of 30 use the freenet on a weekly basis in OAS countries. Almost all non-government media has a place in the Freenet. Sites such as Watchpe, Boredee, Pub2, and other media outlets drive millions of users in traffic every day, and the Independent News Network, FreeNetNews.com, is one of the most trusted news outlets in recent polls.

The Freenet has an undeniable effect on modern propoganda and politics. Multiple terrorist attacks, most notably the PUA Capitol Attack, have been organized through the Freenet, and all types of groups organize and recruit via the Freenet. The victory of the Democratic Socialists in the 2008 PUA election has been attributed to organizing and galvanizing via Pub2 and other Social Networks.

Another large problem and criticism with the internet is it's total anonymity and how it not only promotes terrorism, but also all other sorts of crimes. Open trig and human trafficking sites have existed, and while some have been disabled or seized by government officials, authorities can't get to all of them, and criminals have gotten smarter.
