If you're concerned about it, it's probably worth discussing with the right kind of lawyer, whatever that is. It might cost a couple hundred bucks, maybe more if you have a ton of questions, but it's worth it to know what they might try to get you on and how.
Alternatively, exclusively publish and communicate over tor for anything even slightly related to the project, never share a photo or personal information of any sort, and generally remain untraceable. Downside is if they're interested and watching, you only have to slip up once.

I firmly believe this, along with knowing that I'm not capable of living without a mistake.
I can't afford to dedicate my life to this software, as much as I believe in nostr, it's not worth stepping out of real life for.
On top of that, I've been public for quite a while now and it's difficult to put that toothpaste back in the tube.
My concern, is how concerned should I be for myself and my family really. I've spoken with lawyers about the previous thing, and their response is, well this fight will never end and your family will always be at risk so it's just can you handle it/afford it, or get out. We chose to get out.
It all happens in the dark, behind some crafty worded emails and quiet threats. It taught me the importance of something like nostr irl. That any government is just organized crime and you can choose to fight that fight if you want just know what you're up against.
I know what I'm up against, and I will lose, I don't have the power to fight a federal government. We know what happens to billionaires when they don't follow the rules. I'm but a smear on the boot.
I just want to know how big my target is, and how long I have.
