Listening to nostr:nprofile1qqs2m82zyqlayjqw5tjuf3j9jwszwuy2a03tq24xp0tmr4nxm2jmprgpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68ytnzv9hxgqgdwaehxw309ahx7uewd3hkcqgjwaehxw309ahkvenrdpskjm3wwp6kysvkrjq 's interview with Eliza Bleu, what a fascinating and important conversation.

I was stunned that as an advocate for survivors of abuse her first reaction was excitement about nostr's censorship resistant properties! I did not realize how valuable the ability to publish the testimonies of survivors was.

I also very much appreciate the way she later goes on to talk about the threat CSAM poses to nostr. If nostr ever amounts to anything, it will be slandered as a refuge for evil people. I completely sign on to her mission to make it hard for people to say that's the case.

Currently, I don't do much in Coracle itself to identify or censor certain kinds of content. Once encrypted chat gets sorted out though, I intend next to build decentralized moderation on top of NIP 32 labeling, but even that is more of a "self-policing" mechanism, although I think it could easily be used to find and report bad stuff.

I'm honestly not sure what role a client should take in identifying and reporting illegal content, partly because I think it's mostly relays that should be doing that. However, as a father of 4, I very much resonate with the mission, and I do believe it's compatible with freedom of speech.

Anyway, all that to say, welcome to nostr nostr:nprofile1qqszzv6swdqp5vgveytelca806txvugvlhmrph7cgruh9svr5fztrtgpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduq3qamnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3wwa5kuegpp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqkfdsnr

Thank you for listening. I appreciate it!

Some of the builders for different apps are being extremely aggressive about detection and removal of child exploitation on Nostr. I don’t want to speak about those details in public for a few reasons but I’ve been impressed by what they have been able to accomplish!

Self-policing is the best way to protect decentralization. It’s like neighborhood watch. “It’s your house house so you must protect it.” Is how I look at it.

An individual should want to report to NCMEC CyberTipline (I’m not promoting an organization that’s just the org that takes the national tipline reports by law) because if nothing else the egregious content can be hashed and added to PhotoDNA and not allowed on corporate tech platforms etc.

The funny part is that I’m not particularly on a mission, I just love Nostr and I know about this topic specifically. I’m always learning because the crime is always changing but I definitely don’t mind talking about it.

I want to see you folks continue to succeed!

I see that you are a Christian, I’m pretty bullish about freedom and partly because I also want to protect freedom of religion. It’s important to me.
