Oddbean new post about login | logout Its a protocol not a platform. Anyone can fork off and create their own subnetworks. There are no central pressure points to take down the entire thing.
Why isn’t flooded with child porn then?
What's the value to do so? Relays can control what they relay. Someone could easily run a nostr child porn relay however.
Child porn is the canary in the coal mine. The only proof of a lack of censorship is the presence of child porn. No other form of speech is more hated. If you know another form of speech more hated, let me know and I’ll use that as the canary in the coal mine.
Child porn isn't speech though. So I am not sure I follow? Like I said, NOSTR as a protocol and its relay's could 100% send out child porn, you would also need to host it or find a host that doesn't care you host it. The protocol cares not. There is no governing and central force against it in any way. There can't be. I am also not all together sure there isn't child porn on some relays, perhaps paid or private. Who knows?
nostr doesn’t host media, it hosts text
I see plenty of media https://m.primal.net/IMee.jpg
Those are links to other web servers, it has nothing to do with nostr
Interesting, so if NOSTR is censored in the sense that it relays on other services to not censor?
** Interesting, so NOSTR is censored in the sense that it relies on other services who do censor? Aka you can censor NOSTR by censoring these other non-NOSTR servers?
I for example want to keep the footage of beheaded Palestinian children online. Which server can I rely to not censor this video so we can’t pretend these war crimes don’t exist?
You just host it yourself somewhere?
I’m not a techie, I’m only here because everywhere else is censoring so effectively.
