Australia could be either the best or worst choice for the next Nostr unconference.
We have DigitalID rolling out by the end of this year. We also have an mis- & disinformation bill in parliament that will roll out within the next year which seeks to give our Ministry of Truth the ability to remove content from the internet if it could result in “harm”, and “harm” is so broadly defined (pic 1) that it’s going to give them free reign to censor anything and everything.
The MoT run by eKaren (an American woman who is 100% a CIA asset) has been tasked by parliament to develop a roadmap toward social media identity verification and have it implemented by August 2025 (pic 2).
This is now being publicly pushed as FoR dA cHILdReN after eKaren censored videos of a Bishop being stabbed by an immigrant, ordered Xitter to take them down GLOBALLY and then lost a court battle because they didn’t have that authority - they’re shoring up the law so the courts won’t have any choice but to allow them do whatever they want, and they can identify anyone who posts wrongthink.
By the time the next unconference rolls around it’s likely #AUStriches will be fully KYCed for all other social media.
So obviously we need #nostr, and interest here could be massive - possibly the first version of the event to break out beyond our existing sphere.
However, whilst the odds are low, they’re non-zero that the Gov will fuck this up. Denying visas is their most likely course of action (if any) - they’ve done this heaps of times for politically unfavoured individuals.
I don’t think they’ll gulag Nostr CEOs next year, odds of that are very low, but I don’t know they won’t either. More likely go after relay operators.
But this is probably the last chance to do it in Aus. Go out 12 months beyond these laws rolling out and I reckon then it would be too uncomfortable and the Gov would be more ready to come down on this.
I reckon it’s now or never.
