Now we need to explain Czechs, that #nostr fixes this. 🙂 nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m nostr:npub18m76awca3y37hkvuneavuw6pjj4525fw90necxmadrvjg0sdy6qsngq955 nostr:npub16dmvfhm7uwkxnhxg30k6aczw23wxhgvs62n3puzl5tykpa4aa8esja83yd nostr:npub1atc6zwsr9nnyn0rq72g2qqznr3x4yhm20g50wsexjukygwrg9atqh0lssy

This is some bleak reading, and I thought my home country had issues, I hope Czechs see the writing on the wall, because the goal posts will continue to move and freedoms eroded until you wake up and you have none left

I'd say it's similar to any other eu country. Denmark and Netherlands for example have some very socialist laws dealing with real estate while there is nothing similar in place in Czech Republic. Yet :).

Also freedom of speech, while being attacked (mostly from the EU), is still going strong IMO. If you read czech twitter or speak to someone in the streets, they will tell you what they think pretty bluntly.

You are right, but there is a huge censorship in the Czech media. That is our biggest problem at the moment. That and the DSA legislation, EMFA and others.

The same as everywhere else.

That's also why the (big) media continue loosing the influence/trust. No politician nor DSA will change that. Also for the important stuff, some kind of decentralized social media (protocol) will take over because in the end Twitter will be regulated to death. The incentives for the states are too big and they will just pile regulation on regulation until the platform stops being usable.

Decentralized protocols like torrent, bitcoin and maybe nostr are unkillable. Govts will have to go after the users. AI might help with that, but users will adapt fast.

I think that in the end any state eventually turns authoritarian, because the good times don't last forever. So the only hope for freedom is technology that enables an individual to hide from govt and run circles around it when needed.

I have a similar feeling.
