      "any discussion to freedom of expression regards privacy, and
      vice versa, it's a condition of human rights that they are
      equal".
      
      Simon Davies, director of Privacy International, speaking at
      InfoEthics, an international summit organized in Paris by the
      UNESCO two days ago. 

      Freenet is indeed the perfect illustration of this.
