Nostr Web Client

It's complicated. think about what happens when somebody uploads sex trafficking content via the app. If the app, when installed via a marketplace like F-Droid, doesn't actively forbid such behavior, whoever ships the app might be liable for "helping" them in some jurisdictions. So, right now, Amethyst includes statements to protect us against it and F-Droid claims those statements make the app not FOSS (I disagree).

The app developer can be liable if someone uses it to transmit illicit content? I’ve never heard of the developer of a web browser or SFTP client being sued for that.

It's easy with domain names. They are GM registered with the government and take liability away from the distribution venue. Nostr PubKey a are not registered yet.

And it's not about the developer, but the shipper. Which in our case, it's the same.
