he means being delisted from app stores for mobile devices
how are the regulators going to attack a simple dumb server?
Discussion
By filing lawsuits against malicious or ignorant operators. I don't see nostr clients ever having legal precedent to be removed from app stores outside of the finicky money transmission argument.
well, when the legal prescident for all nostr clients claiming they're just a browser etc comes through (even though most are running IN a browser) or kids learn to compile hack and sideload into IOS from their cribs, let me know.
"precedent" lol
well, i haven't read the text of these new laws that are coming out, australia has them, and now UK, you may remember some law that made it so when signing up to forums back in the day you had to say you were over 13 years of age.
idk how well it could fly in USA law to make age required/KYC laws but you see there is a lot of movement in this direction to KYC all the things, and making it so you can't use a messaging app without doing it, i can see google and apple preemptively making this the rule for all of their local app stores.
what goes on in the background is why: companies like Thiel's Palantir will pay them for it. it has nothing to do with safety any more than why the nazis told the prisoners that their internment was for their own safety.
also the shitcoiners have totally embraced KYC. i literally tried to buy some obscure token one time from a simple fiat->shitcoin exchange and i was denied because my KYC wasn't valid
and that's the other thing, if they have KYC on everything, they can have that phone home to their database, ask an LLM "is this guy someone we want to fuck with?" and LLM sez "yes he is subversive to our agenda, block"
