So, I have been learning more about NOSTR, and I must say the idea is excellent. However, considering the world we live in and governments becoming more tyrannical worldwide, even the so-called "democratic" Western governments.
I work in cyber security and to play devis advocate over here and would like to ask @jack and @jb55 what is to stop governments from blocking the NOSTR protocol on the ISP level?
I know it is encrypted and uses port 443 but can the traffic be identified and blocked?
In my opinion, governments don't like free speech where they can't control the narrative and I'm 100% sure that if NOSTR becomes the primary social media platform + any other use cases governments will try to shut It down.
Thoughts?
They would be blocking websockets traffic, which is a core web protocol. That would break the web
yea was thinking the same just making sure as its 443 so good luck with that :)
