Legal challenge is of utmost important and any admin has right to PURGE / drop/ nuke any relay DB at their own decision without notice. Esp the free volunteer ones. Relays not archival Library after all. having said any NIP changes pushed upon suddenly will NOT be blinded accepted 100% of current existing community 700K active npubs.

Discussion

I agree with everything said here. And I do think the lifespan of a note’s storage is an important discussion - and one I view paid relays very differently than free ones.

To date though, I have not found it necessary to delete any notes, aside from those of one user to specifically requested it. Storage is cheap, and my patrons are few (in comparison).
