Zapddit, will soon be fappeddit.

Porn was the signature content of reddit for a very long time. Now that they need to suck up to the SEC, they've cracked down on it hard.

It'll be as controversial as Tornado Cash if porn becomes a thing on Nostr.

What's the solution for this? Depends on the relays huh? Most relays will ban it but there'll be relays that'll allow it. Since nobody can censor an open protocol, we'll be in the news.

All PR is good PR innit?

You raise very good points. And honestly, I have been thinking about them for sometime too. nostr:npub1cz2ve34nk0ukn0ph4yq2qx3ud8rfy5e0ak4epx42dn8gha0sdgpsgra9kv has brought this point too.

1. I consider all the clients to be the equivalent of browsers. Like firefox or chrome can do little to prevent people from using internet for unlawful stuff.

2. Like you said, I see a future where relay operators will ban content that's unlawful in their jurisdiction. That's not enough too.

3. I see a future where where a client will stop showing content from a relay (and may be show a warning to people writing to that relay) if it exceeds a threshold of reports about unlawful content.

4. No matter what the case is, the solution will revolve around relays, with clients creating mechanisms for assisting in reporting bad content to a relay.

In fact, the dark web illegal stuff is an unsolved problem even today.

Good news is that we have good people (in my opinion) with great outlook and technical skills in our #nostr community. We will have a solution soon 😊
