Mass surveillance in the EU increasing as Chat Control 1.0 approved in EU Parliament. Start heading for the exits before it's too late! #FOSS and #Nostr are the answer.
NOSTR is not a platform. It’s not controlled by any person, corporation or government. It’s FREE OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE. No censorship. No ID. No surveillance. No algo. Just #FreeSpeech @juanrallo

UK needs Nostr. We are soon going to need FOSS devices running on FOSS operating systems with FOSS appstores. @umbrel @start9labs @GrapheneOS @zapstore_
🚨BREAKING: The Government announces all UK phones will require ID and surveillance software This means that Britons will be left with CHILD-LOCKED devices unless they comply with digital ID checks Protecting children is a noble goal, but the government mandating that all phones come with surveillance software is a crossing of the Rubicon that would make the UK one of the most authoritarian internet regimes in the world

India forces GitHub to take down Bitchat "Bitchat enables anonymous communication without mandatory user registration, phone number verification, or centralized logging of communications. The technical architecture of the application significantly impedes interception, attribution, and investigation by law enforcement agencies." – Government of India

Bitcoiners on Twitter celebrating that the new algo change recovers the interaction that was destroyed by the previous algo change. Being at the mercy of an algorithm that you have little influence over seems not to bother anyone... On Nostr you get to choose your algorithm.

If your messaging app is asking you for a phone number, it's not private. If it's not FOSS... you have no way to check that it's private (it probably is not). #privacy #FOSS

#Nostr We told you this was coming. We prepared for it. Nostr is the answer. FOSS is the solution. Surveillance and censorship or Free Speech and Open Source. You Choose.
Age verification is the Trojan horse for complete control of the internet. Imagine you'd have to register your identity to read a newspaper. That's what this is about. They say it's for the children, but it really is about taking away your right to use the web anonymously.

I was way too pessimistic in this Bitcoin adoption chart. I was expecting Bitcoin used for international trade in 2033. If it starts to be used for oil trade in 2026, as yesterday's news suggests... primal.net/e/nevent1qqsffftp…

Hablando de #Nostr en la radio. Seguro que cometo muchos errores, pero al menos espero despertar la curiosidad en unos pocos. piped.video/6YiwdosoJMk

Twitter (2006) ,Mastodon (2016), Diaspora (2010), Gab (2016), Parler (2018), , Gettr (2021), Truth (2022), Hive (2020), Bluesky (2024)... all promised free speech. All have slipped into censorship, blocking and control. #Nostr is different. Can't be evil > don't be evil.

This is why #Nostr matters. Censorship will intensifiy until we make it obsolete.
Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez: Starting next week, my government will implement the following actions: First, we will change the law in Spain to hold platform executives legally accountable for many infringements taking place on their sites. Second, we will turn algorithmic manipulation and amplification of illegal content into a new criminal offense. Third, we will implement a hate and polarization footprint system to track, quantify, and expose how digital platforms fuel division and amplify hate. Fourth, Spain will ban access to social media for minors under the age of 16. Platforms will be required to implement effective age verification systems — not just checkboxes, but real barriers that work. Fifth and last, my government will work with our public prosecutor to investigate and pursue the infringement committed by Grok, TikTok, and Instagram.

Twitter censorship, shadowbanning, algo manipulation will continue to be a thing. Try Nostr, choose your own algorithm.
My content is being restricted in the EU under the Digital Services Act - the very censorship act I’ve been warning about for years. Under the guise of "online safety" they put a search ban on my account and flagged my posts as sensitive/age restricted content. The EU hates free speech because it threatens their power.
