I did not implement it to help traffic kiddie porn, wtf. Those people can rot in jail.
By that same token Signal should have a backdoor because its encryption is helping that traffic too. We've seen this argument countless times, it's tiring.
Discussion
It's already the case that people can transmit images in encrypted format, but who wants terrabytes of that sitting on the server in their house or the server registered in their name?
Personal choice, I think.
I'll build another tool to scour nostr for these events and detect if a segment ever is CP or illegal, so it can be removed.
So, it would rebuild them, decrypt them, scan them, and then issue a 1974 report?
If that works, it would solve the problem, but it would also remove the plausible deniability argument, as it proves that you could find out what you were storing, with a reasonable effort.
Reasonable efforts are reasonable.
I feel like the encryption damages the potential without adding anything, since it can't be securely encrypted without making it impossible for the public to rebuild it. Encryption adds value if only the person who receives the package can open it, or you are trying to circumvent censorship in-transit. We already automatically encrypt in-transit relay communations, tho, and these aren't only meant to be pay-per-view, or something.
But maybe I'm just confused and missing the point of encryption, in this use case.
Is each segment encrypted separately? That would be better, at least, as you could then decrypt and utilize one in isolation.
Otherwise, wouldn't missing one segment make the whole thing undecryptable?
I'm not sure about that, tho. I'm not a cryptography expert.
Thanks by advence for this tool, it is nice to think about it now and not when it is too late !
Thank you nostr:npub1m4ny6hjqzepn4rxknuq94c2gpqzr29ufkkw7ttcxyak7v43n6vvsajc2jl for asking the good questions too !
