 Each relay operator is the "central authority", deciding what is to be seen (and not seen) by that relay's users...

 How will you know what a relay operator is "filtering"?

How will you know if information you'd like to see is not being presented to you?

How will you ensure a relay operator is not shadow banning certain accounts or topics?

How will you know if a relay operator isn't doing exactly what Twitter and Facebook have been doing? 
 there are several ways, but the simplest one is: run your fucking relay! 
 Said this in another reply, but are we really wanting Nostr's freedom of speech proposition to be "Hey spin up your own relay"?

We're better than that--we need to make things easier for folks to adopt Nostr...not harder.
