Adding on to Will’s note - I see the three killer characteristics of #nostr

- note verifiability
- app interoperability
- payment addressability

All baked within an uncensorable protocol

quoting note1q05…arer

Trump enforcing neutrality on section 230 is going to be very interesting, because it would force platforms to not censor people for political reasons, otherwise they could be labeled as non-neutral.

So many centralized platforms depend on 230 to even exist.

There is still the issue of takedown requests from other countries, i wonder how that would interact with a neutrality clause in section 230.

It’s nice that there is some effort in law to reduce censorship, but it’s much cleaner to just enforce it in the design of a protocol itself. Don’t have to worry about the day to day changes in law and corruption.

Maybe nostr becomes even less relevant for the majority of people if our censorship resistance story isn’t as enticing. we should probably lean in hard to note verifiability and app interoperability. These were always the best sells anyways. note1akx…xe5e
