I still don't know how nostr would avoid government interference. #asknostr

Let's say the UK (or some other) government cared about Nostr not complying with their laws, they would go after clients, right? These clients would more than likely comply. Which I don't blame them for obviously.

Considering the structure of Nostr, would they also go after relays?

What is a workaround for this?

More clients? This would just mean more places to be taken down?

Could you have a website that instantly forked eg Damus or Amethyst? So it would on the fly make a new client cloned from these as a New Client apk each time like it was a new client each time?

Relays are the problem for censorship resistance, much more than clients.

Those relays that are over 🧅 aren’t at risk if set properly. Sad that we have only few and they are well traced 🤷‍♂️

Right, that's going to be the test, running relays on anonymizing networks.
