A quote from what seems to be a pretty official FreeNet website
(http://www.oldhat.org/freenet/):
"Unfortunately, freenet is currently in a pretty sad state. The number of
requests that are running through the network is pretty crazy at the moment,
to the point where people can't effectively grab most of the data that's out
there. Developers are working on a number of different ideas, and hopefully
we'll have a working network available Real Soon Now (TM)."
I am unsure about the value of anonymity of camera providers & viewers. How
much would it matter?
