This comforts some and annoys others, and for the latter comes the Freedom system, the most comprehensive software package ever to limit the traceability of Internet usage. Produced by Montreal tech firm Zero-Knowledge Systems, the software has been long awaited by privacy advocates, and long dreaded by groups battling cyber-evils such as web-based child-porn rings.
