No, they have the power to publicly cryptographically document who is supporting dissent

Bitcoiners love building systems without privacy and then acting like the state can't see what they're doing
True, but zaps across borders, who cares? Could send direct to Iranians, Chinese, Russians (the good ones).
All I'm saying is zaps are a step backward re privacy.
Compared to LN by itself (LNURL or LN Address) which is more private by default.
I know that some people try and use some technical definition of a zap, but most of us are using it to mean any sending of sats over Nostr. Because we're not technical. Also, most people are not very concerned about serious privavcy, rightly concluding that even the most horrible Gvt only has resources for people operating outside "limits". For SOME people the Gvt is the threat (I know people killed by their Gvt, my ex wife stood in front of the Russian army the day after they shot and killed 20 people in Vilnius), but for most of us, Gvts are annoying, not lethal.
