If relays are not hosting media files directly, I fail to see how they could be hosting illegal content requiring active moderation. Sure there are a few (invalid) exceptions globally, however any text that can be made illegal could be tomorrow’s “100% vaccine effectiveness” truth-speak; courtesy of your local ministry of truth.
It’s not subtle, but if you look carefully, it’s suddenly changed from “explicit content warnings/tagging”, to “scientific community labels”, to “moderation of illegal content” for relay operators. It’s an attack on all things Nostr stand for.
If anyone else here can’t literally see the censorship motive and outcome here… not sure how much clearer it could be.
