- The centralization of the internet poses a fundamental threat to individual freedom. In 2023, a few corporations control most internet services and infrastructure, wielding immense power with little accountability. This threatens democracy, as these corporations can censor content, exploit our data, and exclude users from essential services. In this talk, Ian Clarke, founder and architect of Freenet, discusses how to build decentralized apps on the new Freenet platform.

Great audience with thoughtful questions and thorough responses. :)
FUTO big thank you for having the questions spoken out it make the video complete thank you for lissoning to feed back
Freenet on Framework - kudos!
I echo this sentiment. We've been stagnate for a while and is stuck in this situation with the internet where only the big ballers get to do big changes.
echo "this sentiment" ^-^
What everyone thought Web3 might be is what FreeNet will become.
Web3 simply means distributed systems. Whether that's Freenet or some kind of crypto sc, it's still Web3.
Incredible perspective! I learned a ton.
Also great to see that Futo supports TOR
Brilliant. Thank you.
Nice presentation!
Awesome talk
He looks so much like Torvalds

Thank you @IanClarkeSanity can't wait to see more. Since your first sit down with FUTO and LR i've been excited to see whats happening. I've asked this question for years WHY isnt this a thing? Well, give the timeline thus far, the answer is because its hard lol but thankfully someone put in the work to make it happen.
Thank you - yes, if this was easy it would be done already, but I think the time is now right for it and so-far it feels like we're on the right track :)
@@IanClarkeSanity Where would the best place be to help testing etc? Would love to contribute however I can as I'm not a developer persay.
God bless!
This guy looks like a very young Linus Torvalds
We Linus clones are everywhere.
I love it! But I have a question about Consensus. Who writes to the data structures? I have been in touch with Hypercore team (Mafintosh, previously called Dat) and SAFE network. Is it just one specific key that is able to sign messages to a contract, or is this more abstract?
How is this new Freenet different from those two initiatives?
Anyone can create contracts according to whatever design they want, decentralized datastructures can be created using contracts as building blocks.
is veilid valid or u already have a better service?
Not too familiar with Veilid but my understanding is that it's an anonymizing proxy similar to Tor or I2P, but which uses a DHT. With such systems the services are still centralized, they're just hidden. With Freenet the services themselves are decentralized.
Must new applications be written, except for a browser, for everything we do on the internet? in that case it will be a hard sell.
Yes, but only once per service - and we can get a lot of the functionality people use by providing decentralized versions of a small number of widely used services like social media. It's ambitious, but necessary.
@@IanClarkeSanity Ok .. would it be an idea to try get the maxtrix/element people into it? person-to-person communication seems like something that should exist on freenet. Customer support could be another driver (?) which also involves communication ..
@@biondanishgenomeinstitute8193 We use Matrix ourselves for dev discussion so when we build a decentralized group chat system we'll certainly try to make it Matrix compatible if the Matrix protocol is flexible enough.

(He got it upside down but it’s the thought that matters)
What ever happened to Locutus?
This is Locutus, it was renamed to Freenet.
@@IanClarkeSanity Sounds great thanks for clarifying
You're right. They should have found a new name because renaming the existing Freenet to Hyphanet is confusing and people forget.@@IanClarkeSanity
This guy invented the original Freenet back in the '90s also, so he probably owns any copyright or trademarks, if any, on that name. So the renaming kind of makes it an overhaul of the original idea.
His original idea is better than his current idea. The old network is used more than the new one. The new network is probably a money making idea. The old network couldn't really be used for making money.@@DFPercush
The paid anti flood token seemed extremely hurtful to the cause. Seems to reject everything this is meant to represent.
I love FUTOs mission, but you all really should get some charismatic talent on staff to change these presentations into more of a show/news format like SciShow and their various educational channels. Perhaps even get some kind of collaboration with Hank Green since he clearly knows how to make education entertaining.
My target audience here was software developers, but soon we'll be ready to speak to a much broader audience.
I'm already trying to find a black turtleneck that fits ;)
Maybe some tutorials, easy examples and evaluation boards of software would help up :) ? I have invented a very good call for people interested in privacy and out of the mainstream: "Resistance is FUTO" :)
This is a technical presentation
Louis Rossman good enough?
