Yet men are addicted to sex quite often, yet nothing enters their body (unless they're gay.)

How about that 1.6M against an old lady because her kid downloaded music online? Was that reasonable? Fuck no it was not.
So shut the fuck up, judge, and deal with it.

No. Trying to push 30TB into Freenet will be interpreted as an attack on the network by other peers and they'll disconnect from your peer.
Freenet is better viewed as a communication medium than a storage medium. Data is prioritized according to demand, somewhat like an LRU cache. You can't upload 30TB and expect the network to preserve it for you.
On liability, running a Freenet peer is more like running network infrastructure that automatically routes and caches other people's traffic than intentionally publishing it. US law explicitly recognizes this distinction in the DMCA's provisions for transitory network communications and system caching. We discuss this in more detail in the FAQ.

You obviously haven't tried Freenet. You can join our room on River and you'll see no spam, no fraud, no hate speech, none of that.
Decentralized doesn't mean unmoderated. Systems built on Freenet can be moderated however their creators and communities want. River is moderated.
The difference is that nobody running one service gets to decide what everyone else is allowed to run.

#1 in Poverty? Uh you mean Puerto Rico, followed by Louisiana and then Mississippi.
#1 in highest taxes? On $100,000 income, Alaska ranks #1 with the lowest total tax while Oregon has the highest. California ranks #41.
#1 in lowest literacy rates? Nope! Most people can READ THEIR NATIVE LANGUAGE. They are not illiterate. Language is the primary driver of NOT KNOWING ENGLISH versus schooling.

Except we do not. Most states allow social casinos and many have a state lottery.

Google has been slowly fucking Google Earth desktop so they can push you to the less-featured web and mobile versions where you pay to have your dataset hosted online instead of on your device and have AI incorrectly interpret shit you're doing.
