I think I will have to begin this note with a disclaimer: It is not intended to disseminate FUD, but as legitimate questions that I want answers to.

If the suspected false-flag / allowed-it-to-happen cyberattack(s), and following legislative attacks on internet freedom and privacy comes to pass, what can we do? (primarily we need to prevent the latter of course, but if that fails, given the stupidity, ignorance, and lack of desire for freedom in most people, and the propaganda storm that such an attack would use)

If sites like X-Twitter, Reddit, etcetera will be required to KYC their users and/or heavily censor content (more than they already do), I assume Nostr will still work, and if no changes to the internet infrastructure itself is made, Bitcoin will of course still work.

But for example if:

-Backdoors are forced into operating systems, and any hosting of FOSS OS:es without them is made illegal. (Remember that only a very small minority can edit the backdoor away and compile, even if it's FOSS.)

-Same as above, but for web browsers. Maybe enforced by a mandate for some kind of DRM on all websites.

-Nostr clients gets under attack in one way or the other.

-Extensive surveillance and censorship is forced on the ISP:s, blocking all non-approved connections and/or reporting people trying to make such connections to the authorities.

-Other attacks along these lines, that you can think of.
