What Hacker News says

So the issue was that the default bookmarks contained a site directory - "index" in Freenet terminology - which was not properly filtered by its author. IIRC Freenet's current policy is to only add indexes to the default bookmarks if their authors do label them as filtered. Perhaps this was a slip-up of whoever the anonymous maintainer of the index was. It is also possible that in the past the bookmarks contained both the filtered version of an index as well as another one of the same index which was explicitly labeled as unfiltered with a big warning. Then the users could decide on their own if they want filtered content or unfiltered content for the sake of avoiding censorship. In any case: The default bookmarks are here, you can check the git history yourself: https://github.com/freenet/fred/blob/master/src/freenet/clie...
In Freenet is a peer-to-peer platform for censorship-resistant communication
