Blocking users has collateral damage to the innocents. Making your software as useful as possible for the oppressed people is the best way forward.

What terms are you suggesting to make users accept?

i think you are aware nostr:npub1xv8mzscll8vvy5rsdw7dcqtd2j268a6yupr6gzqh86f2ulhy9kkqmclk3x is a dev at Alby and their Hub system is a really nice interface for managing a lightning node, this is the kind of thing they can do that helps these people without getting in the sights of the oppressors

the nostr related key management is a bit more fuzzy, i think for that as part of their charitable works they need to make it easier for people to independently deploy the account/key management system, but that's probably the least impactful part of their work, they just should try to avoid being forced to log the identities of their users beyond their email addresses, i think

I very much agree and this is kinda what excited me about the internet and what got me into programming.

but is this enough?

every good company does things with a purpose to solve problems and improve lives and the world - what the company considers important.

every company is also a platform for their customers.

I am thinking of terms like whatever the company values.

The declaration of the Independence of Cyberspace

The universal declaration of human rights

Rejecting crimes against humanity

Rejecting all those privacy eroding laws

Support for cases like the Assange

...

That sounds like the greatest terms of service agreement ever. I think that would be beautiful. 10/10 would sign. Also I'm extremely glad to know Alby is in good hands with alignment to those particular ideas.
