Fuck me. "Something to protect".

So spot on, so obvious and so stupid I am for not ever being able to frame it like that myself.

Awesome isn’t it! Those tidbits of information that suddenly enable the penny drop

Boom

Improved day and life thereafter!

Actually, another thing that comes to mind is the recent 4 episode show on Netflix called Adolescence. In that show, they point to discreet cultures online that affect children's behaviors. I'd say that show is a bit extreme, but it does show how parents, teachers, society can be blind to both bullying and manipulation, and maybe you can't prevent it, but how do you even bring anyone to justice in such cases?

I guess my question is... Can't privacy be used as a weapon too? And if so, how can we defend against that?

Here's another example of anonymity being used as a weapon (somewhat funny, somewhat scary): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LwOITqr_fz4

One of many solutions is to just not talk to people who have a low web of trust score, mute and report scammers.

Nostr fixes this.

Other stuff…

We really haven’t got our heads around how huge Nostr is in the future of a better internet

Great line of questioning
