 There's some nuance that most of this article won't apply to nostr*

*but it will apply to individual relays in individual countries.

So CSAM will likely be pretty universal (except for relays that host on Tor.....)

DMCA would apply to a lot of relays....just not for example, a Chinese relay

Individual relays would ban individual countries, but some relays would be IN those countries

but all content from all relays show in the same feed. So what's the net effect for the user who wants to see what they want to see?

We call this "jurisdictional arbitrage" (except for the Tor example) 
 It is  an indication of the first step for relevant relays. There are relays where this threads discussion is not relevant.

But I repeat myself 
 "Hey mom, have you heard of Multisig? If you lose access you can pick a few people from the family to be your backup people. Here's how you'd do it with Liana or we could use Theya or nunchuck if you like those better.

 For everyone who saw this and became concerned about privacy, remember that it's only pulling publically available data.

If YOU post a picture of yourself on the internet with your name, where you went to college and all of these things, then YOU are at fault.

"Privacy is necessary for an open society in the electronic age. Privacy is not secrecy. A private matter is something one doesn’t want the whole world to know, but a secret matter is something one doesn’t want anybody to know. Privacy is the power to selectively reveal oneself to the world."

If YOU are posting this kind of information on publically facing websites of anykind, it is YOUR fault for not *selectively* revealing yourself to the world.

This should be a wake up call to scrub your digital footprint now.

 Its way worse than you think. 

These glasses in the hands of law enforcement would be nothing but a neat toy. They already have your picture in your drivers license. They can already subpoena social media for IP addresses. 

In the hacker methodology, this information would be called the footprinting stage. In law enforcement, it would be called digital investigations. The same techniques that this video automates has long been in use already.

 "The wallet pings an onion URL to check for a new version"

So let me tell you how this can all go wrong.

From clearnet to Tor username resuse, to social engineering attacks (and lastly actual exploits" there are a lot of ways to reveal the identity of the developers and get into the server that hosts the updated program. 

If a whole userbase that doesn't want their ID tied to their Bitcoin transactions is using this software for that purpose, and among that userbase is a criminal of any sort, then a malicious update to deanonymize the entire userbase is a real and persistent threat.

 Thank you for the @ Gary.

@Michael J Would you be interested in starting an avairy

I don't recommend the RFC IP over avian carriers, but using pigeons (or runners or light flashes or post office snail mail, or whatever other transport layer you can think of) routed over a DTN (Delay Tolerant Network) leveraging the concept of a contact plant vs what IP uses (Border Gateway Protocol routes) it is feasible.

*It is feasible to use avian carriers, provided you have another avian enthusiast willing to join you within range and other transport layer options were considered less desirable.

https://stacker.news/items/330735/r/nerd2ninja

This is my series on this. I do believe a 1st worlder will prefer a dronenet aka faenet over avian carriers, but operating a drone without line of sight is not legal in the US, so if you prefer to have legal redundant high bandwidth (aka large file transfers) and driving it over isn't preferred maybe you would consider avian carriers.

 "When Bitcoin is your bank account, when every dollar you earn is going into Bitcoin, you are disproportionately exposed to the net positive volatility of Bitcoin. You tend to spend more when it goes up, save more when it goes down. Do I regret spending 0.1 BTC on a cell phone? No. Everyone else should regret not putting their entire bank account in Bitcoin. It's not those of us living on Bitcoin losing out, it's those of you treating it like an investment." -Guy I know on discord.

 Given their stated goals in the article, no lightning support makes this an incomplete product.

They have it where you can send to proton users via their email address rather than a Bitcoin address. Maybe that's alright but to stop there and think you've improved the UX much is pretty outdated. They gotta have proton lnurls man. 
 Is it possible to be a bitcoiner (with everything that this spirit represents) and support taxes ... 
 Yes it is. There are communist Bitcoiners. I'm not one of them so don't @ me.

My inaccurate memory of why is something like Bitcoin allows for opt in governance through fidelity bonds (as seen in join market) and other mechanisms I'm sure, and that Bitcoin allows for a transparent government budget where if its set up right the people of that country can coerce their government into making decisions they want (I don't really remember how that one was supposed to work and my use of the word coerce is my cliff note understanding of it)
