Needs to:
A) Be able to maintain a copy of something even if one's own computer gets broken off from the network for whatever reason.
B) Be able to reliably store files beyond just tiny ones.

If it can't do those two things, the notion that it's "censorship resistant" is just a gimmick to promote a functionally inferior network (and the claim itself is kind of bogus, if it can't do point A).

Freenet is pretty good at point A by establishing redundant copies throughout the network. The system it uses for that makes it bad at point B though because anything larger than about a megabyte tends to get bumped out of the network sooner than later (and sometimes will give the illusion of still being there but never complete all the pieces). Nothing else I've seen (Tor, I2P) even seems to be able to get point A right (you can at best maybe bitcoin to some dodgy webspace provider to host something until THEIR system goes down/takes it down, which is hardly any better than the clear web).
