Like it or not, that's what sets up Nnostr for conflict with EU law

While free speech, including freedom from censorship, is a legal right in EU countries, like it is in any real democracy, it is not absolute. It is balanced in EU law (as it is in other democracies) against other legal rights. And it is in those conflicts between conflicting rights that services like Nostr can run into problems with an absolutist freedom-of-speech approach

Nostr depends on real server hardware, running in particular countries, operated by particular people, all under the jurisdiction of particular countries

if a relay is put up by any organization or person who has any presence in the EU then that person or organization might have some legal exposure

Having said that, the Nostr architecture of having servers (relays) be mostly dumb replicated databases makes actual enforcement hard
