Most people even my friends don't care about privacy and they totally comply with control systems that are in placed. There common sense answer to #privacy- "i have nothing to hide" Sad ! #bitcoin

Well, this explains a few things:

Popular Mechanics

American IQ Scores Have Rapidly Dropped, Proving the

Are we really getting less intelligent? Here

This is the slow but steady death of internet privacy. When governments and Big Tech join forces to enforce KYC everywhere, freedom online takes a hit. Complacency only makes it worse — time to value sovereignty before it’s too late. ⚡️🛡️

we need delay tolerant, store and forward, multi frequency, communication protocols

Even if nostr doesn’t grow substantially, I’ve made so many good connections that will prove valuable to me in the dystopian world we’re approaching.

Let's talk about the options!

And companies will facilitate it

They already are 😂 you just haven’t noticed yet. You’re saying it’s going to get worse.

They already have…

next ... RIP free wifi unless you id yourself

So what we gonna do ?

A lot of Bitcoiners jumped on the Anti-Porn KYC fuckery without even thinking about the implications.

nostr fixes it

THAT’S WHY WE NOSTR

Humanity will bifurcate

This is actually awesome news for NOSTR, since this will only increase incentives to use it over the rest of the net. View quoted note →

Not me

The bones of this are already in place. And if you look at the EU & beyond you see a super-intense push for Age Verification... which is always the leading wedge. No accident that many of the countries pushing for this are also the biggest hitters in signals intelligence & monitoring... ...With the worst norms for personal privacy and freedoms.

The Chinese model is winning.

Have any of the clients made a statement about not complying with the new internet censorship law ? I know primal will comply. I've already downloaded amethyst from outside the Google Play store. I'll be deleting primal. But I'm interested if anyone has said anything because the client I want to use is the one that does not comply

NOSTR and Bitcoin will only become stronger and more antifragile as both of those are tested and as the legacy system continue to corrupt.

dude! it's insane.

WTF is this? 

Had my VPN location set to the Netherlands and now X wants me to verify my age? To watch a video of someone spending sats at...

I'm Australian and I whole heartedly agree with this message, unfortunately.

IDK why, but this reminded me of this:

this is why we need default-private tech

Yes definitely.

We need to follow closely on what happens in the UK and other countries where they try out the new, stricter controls. If enough people acquiesce, then they will roll out the same controls in more territories. I hope enough people still remember what happened with the vaccine passports in 2021-2022 and refuse to comply with this.

That's like me saying "The sky is blue". Yeah, no shit.

We are not the most of the internet.

Which side of the Berlin Wall are we on?

I say this is what we see today. As long as there is developers who code for nonKYC, there is hope. And every person that feels extorted due to KYC will eventually seek alternative. We have to be loud enough so they might hear us, when they like to switch.
