This is genius. I’m just a survivor advocate so I can only take the conversation so far on my end. The tech based solutions will have to come from those who understand what’s possible. I can’t offer that.

What I can say is that on a personal level I care deeply about freedom. I don’t want to see #nostr or #bitcoin get a bad reputation as a result of poor planning.

If abusers use zaps on Nostr to distribute and purchase illegal content, that’s what the public will remember. That’s what they will be told goes on here by governments and the corporate press.

The corporate press won’t probably write about a survivor sharing their story and being allowed to speak without the fear of censorship at the hands of the powerful or the most beautiful parts about Nostr.

Negative press could be used as a reason to explain why this type of freedom “shouldn’t be encouraged or allowed.” Those seeking power and control have an interest in maintaining their power. If the public uses corporate tech platforms, the governments still have some control over the voices of the people. Some countries have more censorship options than others.

I’ve played the movie forward because I care. I’d expect the most aggressive attacks from the governments and corporate press imaginable (just like with Ross but worse) and they will use the very real crimes against children as an excuse.

Get ahead of all of it. Do whatever is possible to brace for impact.

Protect your freedom like adults, not because it’s fun, this conversation sucks actually, but because you care more about freedom than fun. When you realize what is at stake you move differently. 💜 nostr:note1f3jhpn0f0lls3gapum64jk22ta703gys92pvpsxh7ls0da6ad9hsxe36tt
