I doubt nostr is in OfCom 's radar.... For now.
Discussion
It’s not. No offense to anyone but it’s not, yet.
There's a Nostr is dead joke in there somewhere
It’s a protocol, not a site. What are they going to do ?
Go after the apps? Relay operators? Users?
You are then getting into the publisher vs service provider arguments, because nothing is ever planned or discussed on WhatsApp, Telegram or Signal ever, oh no. Or SMS.
Isn't that precisely what they're doing with gab and why people are preemptively shutting down forums?
And even when on the radar it becomes a game of whack-a-mole, stopping UK relay operators as they pop up & blocking international ones. Good luck to the ministry of truth 🫡
The greatest threat is probably removing apps from app stores. That would block a lot of people from accessing relays. It makes good web interface even more important. If they can be totally hosted on Nostr, without depending on centralized servers to host then, even better.
