particular, the appropriateness for use in hostile regimes against state level
adversaries has been tremendously overstated, and any analysis on the implications
of resource scarcity upon the scalability of the network has seemingly been avoided.
Further review of this "globally scalable darknet" will have to wait until the
Freenet team makes more information available.
Specifically, while publishing the "anonymous" topology in the darknet does not
necessarily immediately expose all identities, it is equivilant to publishing an
organizational chart for a covert group, which can in turn be used by an adversary
along side existing knowledge of their target to narrow down or identify different
participants. In addition, by using only peers that are locally connected, the
network's mixnet layer is vulnerable to a class of

Further questions regarding suceptability to traffic analysis, trust, and other topics
do exist, but a more in depth review of this "globally scalable darknet" will have
