The more I navigate #nostr, the more I'm asking my self, if/when this protocol goes mainstream, I can't see the public dealing with filtering any event happening on the protocol.

For example filtering inappropriate content, either as personal preference (NSFW, spam) or outlawed posts in the country (like #GDPR, or antisemitism...)

For now I would only see some kind of layer 2 of the nostr protocol with some centralisations. Nostr addresses ("users accounts") would then only connect to that specific relay which would do all filtering. For example we could have europeans relays that would take care of the GDPR rules for examples).

I know we are very early in nostr development, but am I to crazy thinking that ? #asknostr

Nostr is a protocol and will not implement any 'government rules'. Most nostriches don't GAF about the EU or 'GDPR'. Go ahead, try to stop us.
