great #nostr privacy awareness info from the #amethyst github page:

Privacy on Relays & nostr

Your internet protocol (IP) address is exposed to the relays you connect to. If you want to improve your privacy, consider utilizing a service that masks your IP address (e.g. a VPN) from trackers online.

The relay also learns which public keys you are requesting, meaning your public key will be tied to your IP address.

Relays have all your data in raw text. They know your IP, your name, your location (guessed from IP), your pub key, all your contacts, and other relays, and can read every action you do (post, like, boost, quote, report, etc) with the exception of Private Zaps and Private DMs.

DM Privacy

While the content of direct messages (DMs) is only visible to you and your DM counterparty, everyone can see when you and your counterparty DM each other.

Visibility & Permanence of Your Content on nostr

Information Visibility

Content that you share can be shared to other relays. Information that you share publicly is visible to anyone reading from relays that have your information. Your information may also be visible to nostr users who do not share relays with you.

Information Permanence

Information shared on nostr should be assumed permanent for privacy purposes. There is no way to guarantee edit or deletion of any content once posted.

Someone commented that they were disappointed the Taylor Swift deepfakes aren't making rounds on nostr since it's a good test of censorship resistance. Challenge accepted!

Note that I'm marking these images as "sensitive" so your client ought to blur them by default. I'm also spreading the files across multiple hosts for redundancy.

Personally, I find it ridiculous that these particular deepfakes are what caused an uproar, because they're simply not believable due to the crowds in the background. When I was searching for Swift deepfakes I came across MANY older images that are far more realistic. But it just goes to show that you never know what will go viral.
