Are there any networks like beaker that are not only distributed but also truly anonymous? There is no point in being peer to peer if you can't be anonymous as well. Well, there IS a point, like with the pro-catalonia websites, but it would be even more useful when you can be anonymous.
Also, how secure is beaker? Are there any security audits?
P2P and anonymity are orthogonal concerns. Maybe I want to peer-wise distribute content to well-known friends of mine, to whom I am well-known. Alternatively, perhaps I want to contribute an anonymous voice to a globally centralized conversation?
There is even a third element which is missed by this false dichotomy, which is that "blanket anonymity" is not the same as "managing how much of my identity I want to reveal".
Without the latter, you actually end up with a digital commons whose social dynamics asymptotically approach the chans or Youtube comments.
Freenet is anonymous and is similar to DAT/IPFS. ZeroNet can be anonymous if you configure the node to always use Tor. In that configuration the node will spawn Tor onion sites to seed the ZeroNet sites.
We are working towards that with Peergos [1][2]. Your username is public, but the network can't see your social connections, or your physical location. Note that this isn't true yet though, as we haven't started using Tor hidden services.
