Yeah, people are exploring how to best do this. E.g. Damus will blur images if they come from a pubkey you or your followers don’t follow IIRC. I’ve seen several other clients applying some kind of filtering in the client as well but don’t remember which ones.

Relay operators can also blacklist/whitelist pubkeys, ban IPs in the FW etc. All this stuff is currently being explored and tested out.

The best way to build these protections is as they start happening, instead of building for predictions. Which is why it’s good if Nostr doesn’t explode with new users just yet.

It’s an interesting example because it’s the profile pic, not event media that’s explicit. And to default to blurring profile pics seems like the wrong approach.

Maybe some cost function is needed to unlock a profile pic. Or a sensitive content voting flag. I don’t know.

A somewhat easy temporary “fix” could be to let users toggle blurred pfp for people they don’t follow. At least until we get better solutions for such problems.
