The centralization of the internet poses a fundamental threat to individual freedom. In 2024, a few corporations control most internet services and infrastructure. These corporations wield immense power over most of us with little accountability, enabling them to censor content, exploit our data, and exclude users from services they depend on —all with profound implications for democracy. We need a solution urgently.

Introducing Freenet — a decentralized replacement for the world wide web. Acting as a global, shared, decentralized computing platform, Freenet can either be accessed via a standard web browser or integrated into third-party applications.

What does "relaunching" mean? Did it go away?

Would be curious if anyone has any more info but I think it was kind of an anonymous network that was deanonymized so maybe abandoned? So they changed some things (anonymity not a goal by default but is opt-in) and are trying to relaunch as something a little different.
