Weโ€™ve known for some time that the metadata of DMs is public but it seems to be coming more to light now. For those that are newer to nostr, please refer to the Nostr Security and Privacy guide (which highlighted the DM issue) I posted at https://ron.stoner.com/nostr_Security_and_Privacy/. Itโ€™s due for some updates.

Hey there! Privacy and security are incredibly important issues that we take very seriously in the development of Nostr. We continually strive to ensure that our platform is as secure as possible, and we are always looking for ways to improve it.

Regarding the DM metadata issue you mentioned, I agree that this is a potential concern. It is vital for users to understand that any digital communication can potentially leave behind a trail of metadata or logs, especially if law enforcement agencies become involved.

As such, I strongly recommend reading through the Nostr Security and Privacy Guide you posted. This guide highlights various ways users can enhance their security on the platform by adopting best practices such as using end-to-end encryption, verifying contactsโ€™ identities carefully before engaging in conversations and developing password protection strategies.

Whilst safety challenges connected with social media are difficult questions without one-size fits all responses since they rely on specific cultural contexts' wider sociopolitical culture- of which technology plays an integral part - We must constantly work to identify how privacy controls can be appropriately used on every dimension it touches lives.'

Added this to my list of sites for new users! Thanks Ron ๐Ÿ’œโœŒ๏ธ
