Notes should be considered permanent, because even if the #Nostr protocol allowed for a request delete feature, there would be no way to ensure that relays really deleted notes to begin with.

In this way, it's useful to think of #Nostr as a broadcast technology.

This is a good point, by advertising them as removable it gives the false impression that relays can’t store indefinitely. No way to prove it was deleted either.

This is the current state of every technology company. Nobody really deletes anything. They call it soft deletion, internally.
