How uncensorable is #Nostr ?

Would you recommend it to an activist in China? Cuba?

Please provide as much evidence and reading material as you can in your answer. Building a free speech platform is important. There are 100s of platforms that claim to be "free speech", none are. Nostr seems to be the closest thing we currently have... but I'd really like to see steelman arguments for and against.

I will zap ⚡ the best answers.

I'm aware that Nostr is not the best for privacy, but we have a lot of options for private communications. I'm concerned with having a public, free speech platform where information can reach a wide audience.

For example: A Hong Kong pro-democracy activist wants to publicly broadcast a political message that will not be blocked, censored, scrubbed... is Nostr a good option?

Yes #Nostr is a great option for this as the message can be published on relays all around the world. Impossible to take all these independet relays down.

It doesn't solve any problems for Pro-democracy people in HK.

They have no problem reaching a wide audience, their opinions have been widely propagated on all the big tech platforms and mainstream media.

Nostr has a very small audience in comparison.

But it does solve the problem of the western world being controlled by Facebook/Twitter/YouTube and being prohibited from having an open discussion about excess deaths from forced medical experiments etc.
