How are they going to deal with nostr?
Here comes the third prong to fuck #AUStriches once and for all.
Digital ID comes in December, both sides of government are pushing legislation to have social media users KYCed (see note below and image 3) which will be here mid-2025.
And now they’re pushing ahead with the mis- and disinformation bill which defines “harm” so broadly (image 2) that there is no escape.
No more posting about Bitcoin, that harms the economy. No more disagreeing with net zero lunacy, that harms the environment. No questioning vaccines, that harms health.
If you do - they’ll have your identity and will come and arrest you for breaking this new law.
Bye bye Australia 🇦🇺 https://v.nostr.build/SUzWO8tItR8kdbKF.mp4

They’ll ignore it at first, too small to care about for now and mentioning it will just have a Streisand effect.
But once they do pick up on it I’m assuming they’ll probably go after the relays. They can easily seize domains here.
Most relays are outside Australia, and it's an impossible whack-a-mole game.
Since VPNs are the obvious way to avoid these regulations, have they mentioned anything on that? I keep saying this, they WILL come for VPNs. It's such a low hanging fruit.
