So if a child decides to insert my french nostr relay link on Primal, Interpol will come for me?
How about if a smart 16-y old is just signing events and polling relays in his linux terminal without a client? Who goes to prison?
Discussion
How many children in Mississippi are using this relay of yours? Is it well known? Are children sharing it in forums?
If your example is limited to just one inquisitive kid then I think we can both agree that you'll not be denied entry to the US.
Are we relying on the fact that the terminal as a client won't become mainstream? Why are some exceptions to the law acceptable but others not? Are all terminals now obliged to verifying age?
You can ask the same thing about chewing gum in Singapore or graffiti in Zurich or anything else. Law enforcement will always take scale, motivation and other things into account. These are silly what ifs.
They actually aren't if your argument is scale. There are 20000 active nostr users, likely less than 1000 of which are children and quite likely not more than 2 of those children live in Mississippi. So any Nostr client is in the clear.
Oh I agree there. I was writing in response to nostr back-patting vis a vis bluesky opting out of Mississippi. That back-patting is just as absurd in a world where nostr has no scale as it is in a world where nostr has big scale, though each for different reasons.
