Yes, really, same analogy. I don’t want to give Damus my nsec just to like, but I don’t have a problem doing that to repost.
Strike is a company, you KYC because governments require it.
Which parts of strike you use is up to you, but just as the analogy of Damus, even if you never repost, and you only like posts you sign up in exactly the same way as everybody else.
To explore your issues further. There are companies like Trust Wallet which are owned by Binance, but are completely separate, so the wallet alone requires no KYC.
However if you want to use the wallet inside an exchange, you KYC even if you never buy on the exchange.
Every wallet in every exchange is KYC’d.
How is Strike different?
