Martti Malmi on Nostr: Trending notes from nostr.band API are localized, but that only reveals your locale ...
Trending notes from nostr.band API are localized, but that only reveals your locale to nostr.band.
The bigger privacy issue is that Nostr clients send your IP in every direction in nip05 lookups and relay connections, especially with the outbox model which connects to other users' relays when you visit their profiles.
If you don't want to reveal your IP address, VPN or Tor is the best solution.
