Someone can keep them and say “you said this” because they’re signed, but that doesn’t mean relay admins should be the only ones that can delete them.

Not to mention that many countries have laws regarding allowable speech, and if they were to order someone to take down a post and they literally can’t, it could turn out much worse for them. The entire world isn’t the US Jack, far from it.
A relay doesn't have to host any particular note. Any relay can block that note for those purposes, that doesn't mean you wouldn't still see it if it were hosted elsewhere.
Indeed. And not everyone will take it down. That’s the point. Or everyone could take it down by agreement and it could still be hosted by a relay you control and others can reach.
Likely why building a lite local relay into clients might be interesting.
Ideally relay admins would be upfront with their policies so you could make a decision about this. But they shouldn’t have special authority, it should still be possible to request a delete esp considering the laws in some countries which require it.
I want to build a relay that pulls everything I see from other relays, so it would be connected to the same relays my client is connected to; run the same queries and save all the events that come back.
It would act as a History-tab of everything I’ve seen in nostr.
Love this idea
Yes, the only real difference should whether they have a static IP and what events they decide to save.
