 “The problem is centralized control. We can't trust companies to run our primary communications infrastructure.

 “Government regulation only makes matters worse because it creates new legal barriers to entering the industry, which protects incumbent players and stifles innovation.”

This is the reality of regulations in EVERY industry 
 Just a friendly reminder what the funamental primary communication infrastructure of society is today: it's money.

BTW: I read the nostr:nprofile1qqs9336p4f3sctdrtft2wlqaq5upjz9azpgylhfd3dplwf005mfrr9spzamhxue69uhkummnw3ezuendwsh8w6t69e3xj7spz3mhxue69uhkummnw3ezummcw3ezuer9wcq3qamnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3wwa5kueg6g89xw article. It's brilliant as often. 💆 
 Given the UK's crackdown on free speech as well as the little pompous European transvestite, Nostr’s role in safeguarding uncensored communication is more critical than ever. As Nostr scales, it’s essential to maintain its decentralized nature by preventing the centralization of relays or clients and ensuring resilience against state interference.

Incorporating IP address obfuscation could become vital to protect users from tracking and enhance privacy, especially in repressive environments. Additionally, Nostr could extend its utility to decentralized machine-to-machine identity in IoT and IIoT, where its lightweight and secure structure is ideal for managing device communications without centralized control. This would ensure secure, private, and uncensorable interactions across networks. 
 One of the biggest problems with NOSTR is that it doesn’t end-to-end encrypt any data stored on a relay.

I will never operate a system (ie relay) where I can know what others store on it, and thus can be held responsible (and punishable) for it! 
 Very interesting  
 Well, to my understanding of how NOSTR works and experienceing its usability, it still has a very, very long way to go…
