This is the most important part about nostr for me. I've always been a first amendment advocate because free speech is necessary for an open society and to correct human stupidity.

Corpotations manipulating people to see certain things and not other stuff is a form of censorship. The neo-Nazi only sees things that make the neo-Nazi angry. He will never exchange ideas with a compasionate black man that might change his mind.

In a world where corporations control speech and governments around the world control corporations, we have watched our open society transform into a closed society. This appears to be the case all over the world, not just my own country.
