So, due to the recent enactment of the UK’s Online Safety act, we maybe forced to not serve any content to the citizens of UK (accessing from UK) if our AI determines that the content is unsafe or unscannable. It may also impact AU in the near future if people of AU will allow their government to continue on the current course. Don’t blame the messenger, the fines are ridiculous and impossible to fight. Alternative is similarly ridiculous, scanning your face by some third party to verify your age.
That’s up to them, TOR is always an option, so is VPN. But I am sure they’ll do crackdown on them (VPN services) too
What choice do we have here? UK citizens allowed and supported this
Who the Act applies to: The Act’s duties apply to search services and services that allow users to post content online or to interact with each other. This includes a range of websites, apps and other services, including social media services, consumer file cloud storage and sharing sites, video-sharing platforms, online forums, dating services, and online instant messaging services. The Act applies to services even if the companies providing them are outside the UK should they have links to the UK. This includes if the service has a significant number of UK users, if the UK is a target market, or it is capable of being accessed by UK users and there is a material risk of significant harm to such users. nostr:nevent1qqswmag369rell7umy37h33tdjl4hk5g8l5y8lr4d8hwq4cq8kqahzcppamhxue69uhkummnw3ezumt0d5yfxdqq

Good idea for relay operators to evaluate the risks and decide whether or not to block UK ASNs.
Which relays are you running?
nostr:npub1qqqqqqyz0la2jjl752yv8h7wgs3v098mh9nztd4nr6gynaef6uqqt0n47m don’t feed the troll
Maybe this will force UK citizens to act and not just sit there and take it.
Ok. That was a rhetorical question.
That’s the hope
Hey! This is exactly the type of content that requires age verification! I wish I was kidding you, because I am not 😭😭😭

?
Tell me about it. 😭😭😭
These are the stats for my PFP, so a fair share of users.
That’s good, I guess. Try for the past 1 month or so
IE is likely an image proxy by Snort

If you understand the infrastructure of nostr you'll understand the risks he's facing. The text is distributed on relays, images are hosted on servers. If you want to do something useful, build a distributed image hosting protocol instead of criticizing people who are supporting this one. However, if such a service existed it would also open the floodgates to CP, snuff films, and any other atrocity you can imagine.

Thanks for coming back to chat. Since I first started using nostr I have imagined that it will eventually spread out in a way where some parts (maybe large parts) of the network are compliant with governments, but smaller segments will be more privacy focused and less compliant. If one image host is compliant we still have the option to use another. The same is true of clients, but as fishcake pointed out, hostiya non-copliant relay will pose it's own challenges. The best path forward is to continue creating software and hardware that make nostr easier to use and harder to stop. Some countries will be more compliant than others to the global propaganda system. That was clear during COVID for example. Maintaining liberty may require a physical relocation by the individual; especially if they are located in the UK or EU. The alternative is a physical uprising and I think that's inevitable, but mess and risky.
