Yeah I think everyone kind of knows this. 'The internet is forever' or whatever the phrase is. But I'm just saying one measure is to not make it so easy. There's a lot of spiteful people with bad intentions who also don't have the tech skills, but would be very happy with how easy trawling through posts for potential ammo, can be on nostr.

I obviously not really know what I'm talking about tho. Lol.

indeed, that's my point, and why i say "more impossible" because it is definitely in practice easier to catch events on nostr

but the situation is no different on farcaster and bluesky and mastodon also, if you are running infrastructure, you see it... hell, bluesky DMs aren't even encrypted, only gated by authentication and then it's "trust me bro" the federation node operator isn't snarfing the data

so, yeah, not a problem only for nostr but for decentralised and semi-decentralised social media in total

and even centralised social media has screenshots, even if they don't expose APIs or RSS feeds

fact of life, get over it, welcome to the internet, 50 years later, it's finally dawning on the population that it means a real permanent record

point to point messages are usually encrypted

one to many (like nostr notes) are not, except for DMs and a few other event kinds, and have strong AES encryption on them, and are only readable by those who have the keys involved
