If a system exists, the system will be attempted to be manipulated. We've heard this before. We've seen this before.

How can Nostr fix this?

A Web-of-Trust helps to alleviate untrustworthy people. We can build this WoT on Nostr.

Our public keys are our identities and these identities will be used for marketplaces, entertainment, relationships, and more.

Don't be confused. A WoT is not a social credit score.

Social credit systems differ in their approach to trust assessment. Social credit scores are implemented by governments or centraized entities that collect and analyze data about individuals' behavior. This is the scary, dystopian future that you've read about.

In contrast, a WoT is a decentralized system where individuals build trust through direct interactions and reputation. This community driven approach promotes transparency and accountability. Social credit systems do not have these features. WoT gives power back to the individual and to their community.

Keep building.

I think it clearly is a kind of social credit score. But the words “social credit score” are so beaten up no one knows what the words mean. In this case a web of trust is decentralized. We each make independent choices about who we will trust and the outcome is you can see who the people you trust also trust in making the decision on who you will add for receiving services etc.

So It’s a lot like human to human trust. The problem with the “social credit score” dystopian scenario is that people aren’t choosing individually a central authority is choosing what you get. And that power will be abused and manipulated.

there are also a following cult on nostr, because of standard recommendation on who to follow and because of trending feed of big accounts.

Day 14 of #100pushups challenge complete 🤙

Set 1: 25 (burpees)

Set 2: 25 (incline)

Set 3: 25

Set 4: 25 (decline)

About 1 min rest in between sets.

Of not discovery. Or a late discovery. Or a wrong discovery.

If thats your nostr feed that could have a couple of hours or days or months of being affected, thats probably ok

If your banking app got updated from another source and your WoT helped to discover it in an hour - it may already be too late

So in case if you don’t actually care of the consequences of the attack - thats ok. If you do care, you want as much control as possible. And today WoT could give much less control than Apple

Sounds great… if you don’t actually care of the consequences

I rather refer to software development case when you have multiple open source dependencies in your project and one day one of the dependencies becomes controlled by an attacker

In case of a web of trust it may mean one of your friends becomes the attacker, or they are sold to an attacker or they get hacked by an attacker etc

And then you learn a term “supply chain attack”

Don’t get suckered in by the planet’s most proficient propagandist and the country’s most famous fear-monger.

Just because they point out valid problems doesn’t mean they’re on your team.

It’s easy to plug into peoples’ fear and insecurity with hypnotic language and half-truths.

That shit is dangerous.

GOOD MORNING NOSTR, WE ARE GOING TO BUILD A FREEDOM SUPER APP ON TOP OF NOSTR AND BILLIONS WILL USE IT BECAUSE IT WILL SIMPLY WORK BETTER THAN THE SLAVE TECH ALTERNATIVES 🫡
