Can't wait to see the reaction to this by the local Chinese citizenry.

Basically this is allowing the government to know your browser history in real time.

The explanation is that this would "protect" Internet users from third parties collecting personal data.

In short, you would be required to first register with one of the government agencies. You provide your information there and are then given an Internet ID for signing up and registering on Chinese websites.

Thing is, the Chinese government pretty much already has all information on all Chinese citizens. What this would end up doing is further centralizing activities and making it far easier to connect people with their activities online.

Not great. Not great at all.

Can do nothing, except obeying

This is the biggest part of censorship in the real world. Although Nostr is aiming for censorship-resistant, but all devs understand what it means mainly because they don’t live there

BTW there won’t be any reactions
