Oddbean new post about login | logout India needs #nostr — “The Indian government has issued executive orders requiring X to act on specific accounts and posts, subject to potential penalties including significant fines and imprisonment. In compliance with the orders, we will withhold these accounts and posts in India alone; however, we disagree with these actions and maintain that freedom of expression should extend to these posts.” https://x.com/globalaffairs/status/1760387644608192560
Is it allowed in India?

The world needs Nostr. The problem is that most people still haven't realized it.
How do you get the public on board?
nostr:note1ch2jvhz30n2tjydjg5547563wmtqxx843a957hzwjwe6rjnuvycqn9hlgt I'll be interested to see if this catches on in a practical way to resist censorship.
I can't agree more to this. And this isn't anything new. Earlier, the government had asked for data from Proton and it's services, which proton obviously refused to comply with. Last week, I heard Proton mail is getting banned here. Is the internet allowed here, you ask? I wouldn't be surprised if they disallow it too. There have been instances already where specific local areas were banned from using the internet for a couple days/weeks, because of "spreading rumours" and increasing civic chaos.
💯
So many more people would've already been here if it weren't for the unfamiliar onboarding process. It's a leap to go from email and password logins to a lengthy random string of characters (nsec) or a browser extension. The browser extension method is especially unfamiliar even for constantly online folks.
Well you see, its not "freedom of reach" its "freedom of ..." ...oh never mind.
X is a honeypot that a government can attack. Nostr is a firefly. As many as you knock down, there is still another to carry the torch.
The 'Digital Services Act' in Europe sounds like the same thing. This is happening everywhere.
