153 AnoNet shines here. Governments can force Google to cough up your search history, but only if Google can figure out which searches you're responsible for. If you use Scroogle (HTTPS) through one of AnoNet's HTTP proxies, the proxy doesn't know what you're looking for, Scroogle has no clue who you are, and by the time the search makes its way to Google, connecting it to you is all but hopeless. |

157 BitTorrent doesn't hide your IP address, so seeding files for L<TPB|http://www.thepiratebay.org/> is not necessarily safe. BitTorrent on AnoNet doesn't hide your IP address either, but the authorities can't easily connect your AnoNet IP address with your IcannNet IP address (in order to get your ISP to reveal your identity). |

161 If you know something that you'd like other people to know, and you fear retribution from those who would prefer for others not to know what you know, traditional IcannNet forums can be forced to turn over your IP address, which can then identify you. On AnoNet, it's comparatively easy to cover your tracks, in such a way that even your own peers would have a hard time figuring out who said whatever it was. |

211 If you thought publishing blogs was tricky, try publishing a book. ("Alms for Jihad" comes to mind as one obvious example, where the publisher went so far as to delete the book from its own database and buried the copyright.) While physical books may not be so simple to publish on AnoNet (although you can certainly raise awareness of them by speaking out about them on AnoNet), e-books enjoy considerable anti-censorship advantages on AnoNet. |

215 You may want to teach disciplines that can get you into friction with "the authorities" in a tyrannical regime. (Judges in prominent first-world countries have ruled, for example, that knowing your way around a computer is an indication that you may be involved in computer-related crimes.) AnoNet gives you an opportunity to teach without your students being able to point you out to the authorities, even under pain of torture. |

219 You may find yourself in the middle of a news story, but other parts of that news story may not appreciate your reports. When you report something to WikiLeaks without going through tor, you're leaving a long trail that may lead to you. With AnoNet, you can hide that trail to a certain extent, if you don't want to use tor. (WikiLeaks over tor will still give you better protection than AnoNet, if you're worried about your government's intelligence agencies getting involved. AnoNet's optimization towards pseudonymity with common IcannNet protocols is the weakness, here. We're working on that, but in the meantime you have L<tor|http://www.torproject.org/>, L<i2p|http://www.i2p2.de/>, L<Freenet|http://freenetproject.org/>, L<GNUnet|http://gnunet.org/>, and others.) |

| 320 Well, each of us has his own wishlist, but most of us are working on | |
| 321 moving stuff from our TODO lists to our DONE lists, so you're looking | |
| 322 at a bit of a moving target. You're more than welcome to contribute | |
| 323 anthing you want, and if it's interesting and/or useful, it'll probably | |
| 324 attract a following. That said, here are a number of things that would | |

| 330 | |
| 331 When a new user wants to connect, he'll normally come in through a | |
| 332 client port. The more client ports are available, the harder it is for | |
| 333 any individual client port to abuse its position (for example, if the | |
| 334 local government decides to try regulating it). | |
| 335 | |
| 336 =item Public Email Services | |
| 337 | |
| 338 Currently, every AnoNet user who wants an email address on AnoNet has | |
| 339 to set up his own mailserver. AnoNet1 used to have a public email | |
| 340 service so people could get email addresses without running their own | |
| 341 mail servers, but it hasn't been online in nearly a year (although the | |
| 342 AnoNet1 Web continues to advertise it). SRN is working on setting up | |
| 343 such an animal on AnoNet2, but competition here is a good thing. | |

347 IRC on AnoNet2 isn't one big network under centralized control. |
| 153 | 348 Rather, anybody who wants runs his own IRC (or other chat) server, |
| 349 and links whatever channels he wants to channels on other servers, | |
| 350 using a collection of relay bots. (Right now, UFO and pragmo field | |
| 351 relays, and the scalability problems are becoming visible. How relay | |
| 352 bots may want to deal with this is still a topic for open discussion. | |
| 353 Feel free to join in the discussion, or just do your own thing and let | |
| 354 everyone else be damned.) | |
