Of course. As soon as there was a sharp influx of posts against the protocol that were designed to scare people away, I know they were designed to keep people from moving to a platform that was free from censorship or control. All they had to do was talk in caps, pretend like they were one of us, and to use some scary words like honeypot. And now, people are conditioned to think that is the truth, making it an uphill battle for someone like me to tell these people that they have been lied to.

I'll debunk the top lines parroted right now:

- It is a honeypot! The protocol is about creating a decentralized web architecture, by distributing the load across multiple machines, rather than connecting to a central server. This lets a website or service exist over hundreds or thousands of machines who share the same data, making it impossible to remove. THIS is the point of ZeroNet. You can build a site that, unless every single one of the hundreds/thousands of people are offline, it cannot be taken down. Yes, being part of the network requires other computers to need your IP to communicate. This is no different from a P2P network like BitTorrent. The software already has functionality built into it to accept connections from TOR or VPNs.

- You'll download illegal content! Your machine only downloads files that you are actively seeking. Unless you are actively seeking out a child abuse board, those files will never be on your computer.

- They aren't even real boards, its just to reel you in! /pol/ as of this post has 5900 posts, /qresearch/ has 2300.

Quit listening to shills and people who are repeating what they've read. Realize this is technology that allows uninterrupted communications that can't be censored. Look at this from the other side's perspective - if such a technology existed, how would you feel about people learning about this? What actions would you take to prevent its adoption?

Ask yourself why its being pushed so hard to keep people away from this.
