I'd love to be in the room as government stooges attempt to change Nostr notes, the confusion, frustration and anger as they realise they can see anything they want, but are unable to modify anyone's notes. Then the taunting begins, as plebs begin to note, meme and zap about it in real time 😂 #freedom #digitalliberty #Nostr #grownostr nostr:nevent1qqs2246yvkasuzx7hc0hyk4ceef7ruphfuzlgapzjextat5erkh9zmqpz9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejj7q3qkry7hrdh9xgc2l5vyt3aahlyh53g0mrz9ykq8uh20cy5mpue4fusxpqqqqqqzzu4pdn

Hm in theory you can connect to "any NWC wallet", meaning I can create a NWC connection secret to which you can link the Alby Extension. But don't use it as your lightning wallet, because I might rugpull you (I'll try not to). Alby Extension will work and you can just use it for nostr then. I'm sending you the connection secret in DMs

Nothing, other than the reputational hit they would take. There a level of trust, but we allow banks to hold our dollars. Just don't hold a lot in there, treat it like a real wallet, a few hundred bucks maybe, not thousands.

Omg...! Is this for real? First the UK is rooting out users of social media, 2nd is Canada and now Australia? I mean these nation is part pf the big 7 and commonwealth gov't so no surprised there... But reality is slowly to sink in.

I've no idea, to be honest. My assumption is they will demand a back-door to the platforms that will allow them to modify posts etc. I'm not on any those platforms, so I'm not worried personally, it's a worry as a concept overall.

How will the government modify our posts? Coersion, regulation and brute force. " “Lawful interception” is a network technology that allows electronic surveillance of communications, as authorised by judicial or administrative order. There are standards (which means regulations and rules) for telecommunication and internet service providers to achieve this" And if that does not work then they just hack you: "Under the Identify and Disrupt Bill, access can be gained to encrypted data which could be copied, deleted, modified, and analysed... they depend on “zero-day exploits”, which use software vulnerabilities that are unknown to software vendors or developers, to hack into a system. These vulnerabilities could be exploited for months or even years before they are patched. ... To protect citizens, we would expect these agencies to report or disclose any software vulnerabilities they discover to the software manufacturers so the weakness can be patched. However, they may instead choose not to report them and use the vulnerabilities for their own hacking." - https://theconversation.com/facebook-or-twitter-posts-can-now-be-quietly-modified-by-the-government-under-new-surveillance-laws-167263
