Poll: Can I seize this socialist's Nostr key?
nostr:npub10wsue32ln2w2a9gsy52ylk359n8ams4zj7932j4knvxlk2p84vmq5y3hd3 wishes to force me to obey Karl Marx and rails against the evils of capitalism. But yet he has private ownership of his Nostr key? I seek to draw attention to his hypocrisy.
Today, I put forth 'Amendment 453 Nsec Liberation'
Under this proposed legislation, we as a community, take control of any Nostr nsec keys under the control of corrupt Marxism. To bring peace and justice to Nostr.
All Those in Favor 453, Like this post. Repost for double.
All those against it, Like the Marxist's post I'm replying to.
Seize the Npub:

No, capitalism is part of a republic of self-ownership of the fruits of an individual’s labor and time,
While it’s socialism that is whatever the majority wants, even if it’s corrupt.
By your logic, Why should you be entitled to own your private Nostr key?
I propose a bill to seize and control your Nostr key. If you fail to hand it over to a vote, then you do not believe in socialism.
I believe you have a fundamental misunderstanding of capitalism.
Google gets government money for military cloud, propaganda, educational computing, and more. The government extracts money involuntarily. That’s not capitalism.
Google is known for spying on us, but yet researching THEIR executives, leads us to:
Prabhakar Raghavan was put in charge of Google search and was effectively running the entire company. But this the same guy who ran Yahoo search from 2005 to 2012, during which the company collapsed, because Yahoo search results sucked. So of all people to improve Google’s quality?!
Google search used to be the icon for American innovation worldwide, but now has turned into mostly AI spam and clickbait garbage. Raghavan’s decisions included:
--Make Ads look like organic search and blend in (starting in 2019)
--Prioritize ranking of Google ads customers in organic search
--Prioritize SEO optimization over quality
Google’s CEO Sundar Pichai criticizes republicans as “low information voters”, but yet he previously worked at McKinsey which:
--encouraged banks to load up on debt and flawed mortgage-backed securities in 2008
--Cut costs to outsource labor, getting everyday people fired
So the CEO wants us to accept his left-wing socialist dribble, when his company went out of its way to gut middle class jobs?!

Yes and no.
Signal lets you use literally any VoIP
While as Telegram is very strict on VoIP. and even banning Tor, and even checking if the IP country matches the phone area code
well anyone can create an account on proton and see
Remember I wrote an article a few months ago on "why privacy", and I said the reason changed based on who you are. With few examples such as conservative, black, muslim, gay, ect.
Well one of our readers took my examples, and expanded upon them, with an epic amount of groups and over 40 references,

Yes, all web apps have the problem, and so it's not end-to-end.
No, It does NOT avoid middle attacks, since they can serve you phising info. Also there's some analysis of proton of your password at account creation to make sure you're not a bot. So if you have 90 random characters, its more likely to reject you as a spam bot, and not let you make an account. But if you have basic WORDS that aren't random like "carrot" it will. This means they are seeing the password, connected to the backend spam filter. That's not private at all. And the source on this is me. We may release an official paper on it, but for now I'm just making the statement.
It's your subjective opinion if the trade off is good, but it's far less secure than self-hosting. And a self-host VPS costs the same as a Proton Pro subscription.
Sorry if it was unclear the sources were in the comments. Phones have a baseband modem which is insecure, and easily hacked. This has just one reference, but basic search will show a lot. We also might write an article on it in the future.
If you register over Tor, you get often labeled spam and can't send outgoing without them adding first.
If you register without Tor, then use Tor, it doesn't care. But you've already "doxxed" yourself
Thanks for heads up on this. you're talking about articles or videos too?
Why is Telegram horrible
--No MetaData Protection
(Who and When)
--Only Mobile is Encrypted
(Phones have insecure hardware) [1]
--Invented their own encryption algorithm
Unaudited with a history of security vulnerabilities [2]
--Most VoIP Numbers are Blocked
--Tor Often Blocked
--History of handing over to police [3]
--Centralized
--Forced Google/Apple Stores
(Telegram requires Google Push which is closed source,
So the binaries can't be compared to the code,
and therefore, Telegram's claim of "open source" is a lie)
Your friend will try to pressure you, claiming you're a fringe minority.
But if you repost this, we can be the majority.

If you're looking for a fancy academic whitepaper, here is one example:

and the part me & you are talking about is:
Pg 7 of 14.
Section 4.1.1
If you're looking for me to say it to you in raw shit, here it is:
When you use Nostr you have the private key on your device, browser extension or client.
When you use Protonmail, their web app is unlocking/signing/or generating for you the private key stored via encryption on their server. So there are many ways they can screw with you. Including SOME:
a) serving you bogus code to phish the password
b) telling you the other proton guy's public PGP key is something else
c) brute forcing you, they have unlimited attempts with no time lock. And your password is weaker than a PGP Key.
d) messing with you during registration to begin with
He’s not CIA. He’s not dumb either. He just doesn’t give a shit.
Only if it financially affects his reputation will he care. Which is possible, so I’m optimistic.
First of all, Protonmail is creating their private key on their end and then giving it to you. And the purpose of this encryption is to protect you from them. So that’s a conflict of interest. And what does end-to-end encryption even mean if it’s not on your device?
You can audit the code served in the browser yeah (which can change at every page refresh), but you have no real way to audit their cloud backend or database to know if they even use this key in the ways they claim. Proton’s mobile app is far better than a web browser, but if they are so secure, then what are they handing over to the 3000 government data inquiries a year that’s growing?
Why can't one legit choice be on the menu? Just as an option?
It's not about it being a state secret, it's that he's not using freedom tech... like nostr.
So if the freedom tech influencers won't use freedom tech, then how we gonna grow?
I'll tell you how, we stop letting those individuals be the freedom influencers
Watchman Privacy interviewed SimpleX, But yet
If you hit the contact on his website, only Telegram and Protonmail are listed. And Google analytics, Google fonts, Google forms, Gmail, and Cloudflare are used.
First of all, Telegram leaks metadata (who/when is talking), and that's why people use SimpleX. You'd know this if you listened to your own interview.
Second, even if we ignore that Proton's board of directors has a World Economic Forum member, which is the organization pushing for forced digital IDs. Protonmail is not really end-to-end, if they force you to have your private key in their web app, that's cloud-to-cloud. As I've went over previously, they even ban PGP signatures from external apps. Even Mikkel Thorup, the guy who SELLS Watchman Privacy event tickets, said on his podcast "Protonmail isn't as private as people think".
So surely they self-host right? No, Gabe Custodiet’s "Privacy Summit" with Expat Money used Google forms and Gmail to collect the info of those seeking to flee the US for privacy. Thorup’s ExpatMoney.com and io are both on Cloudflare with Google emails, and these coordinated all Watchman events of political asylum seekers and 2nd citizenship applications.
Do you really want Cloudflare and Google knowing you're fleeing the US for financial privacy? Now, I know Thorup would respond to this by saying "well your data goes to the countries you apply to citizenship for, so it's not private anyway". But this is misleading, because many countries may only need a fixed investment or time spent in the country. While as applicants to these exclusive Privacy Summits, often feel pressure to exaggerate their assets, to get accepted as clients.
Then on Watchman's site, he sells “Bitcoin privacy” through Gumroad, which is on Cloudflare, Google analytics, and Facebook analytics. But the worst part is Gumroad blocks new account sign-ups unless you enable Google. Watchman can’t even figure out how to not have Google fonts API on his WordPress. And then he only sells his book for Amazon CIA contractor fiat, only uses spyware Twitter/Youtube and no alternatives, and lists the following: "CONSULTING: Few humans have the experience and knowledge I do with private and freedom living."
Few humans have your knowledge? Give me a break bro, maybe in scamming people. Here at Simplified Privacy, our message is the opposite,
I am not claiming to be anything special. I'm just a regular dude without even an undergrad computer science degree. All I got is a dream to spread freedom. And if I can learn this open source technology later in life, so can you.
So if you want to see Watchman come on Nostr or SimpleX, make some noise. Smash that repost. Because the only way he's going to adopt freedom tech is when its undeniable that he's being left behind.
Kagi.com is literally hosted on Google Cloud, so no.
Tip for the future, you can do a Whois or DNS lookup and figure it out.
The question is not should one wear a mask or not. The question is who gets to decide. In your example, I say it’s the patient who decides. You say the government. The purpose of a constitution is to outline what decisions governments can make, and failing to abide by this is a dangerous slippery slope because it’s essentially unlimited power. “No rocket science”
