Hyphanet (until mid-2023: Freenet[5]) is a peer-to-peer platform for censorship-resistant, anonymous communication. It uses a decentralized distributed data store to keep and deliver information, and has a suite of free software for publishing and communicating on the Web without fear of censorship.[6][7]: 151 Both Freenet and some of its associated tools were originally designed by Ian Clarke, who defined Freenet's goal as providing freedom of speech on the Internet with strong anonymity protection.[8][9]
The distributed data store of Freenet is used by many third-party programs and plugins to provide microblogging and media sharing,[10] anonymous and decentralised version tracking,[11] blogging,[12] a generic web of trust for decentralized spam resistance,[13] Shoeshop for using Freenet over sneakernet,[14] and many more.
