Yesterday, while working on my authorization server for my relay, I was wondering :
What would happen in clients if a #nostr #relay were to spoof some events.
Example :
Alice sends an event to relay B and C, let's say a simple "Hello world".
All relays accepts the event and stores it. However, relay C modifies the content of the event. When referring to the note, the content relay C would return would be "Hello Satoshi".
Therefore, a client connecting to those relays would receive two different events with the same Id.
How clients would/should behave ?
