People who have never been shadow banned or overtly banned will not understand or appreciate the value of censorship resistance.

Before I deleted FB a couple years ago, I had been repeatedly banned for selling gun parts and ammo on their marketplace.

My lowly Twitter account was shadow banned until I bought Elon's verification status.

None of that shit will ever happen to me on Nostr.

Unless service providers fail.

That's why I run my own public relay.

I meant the internet itself.

Telecoms companies have a financial incentive to maintain their networks even in the worst of times.

There is a risk of governments attacking the free and open internet. See: great firewall of China.

But even the Chinese people have access to things like TOR.

The underlying infrastructure that this all runs on is quite resilient.
