I only remember to check in on freenet when stories like this one pop up, so I was very surprised to see that the project is sporting a healthy 5-figure bank account. I had been used to seeing it in the vicinity of $500 or maybe $2000, for years at a time.

It is great to see organizations step up and support a project like freenet, despite the realities of what a truly anonymous network could mean in terms of content and behavior. Maybe a separately funded independent security audit is in order though.
