Here's a bill that's been introduced in Texas that could impact people hosting Nostr relays and clients…

"A bill introduced in the Texas House of Representatives would create civil liability for obscenity offenses by any defendant, including any 'information content provider' or 'interactive computer service', that either 'engages in the obscenity or knowingly or intentionally benefits from participating in an entity that engages in the obscenity.'"

"The bill also holds an 'information content provider or interactive computer service' liable for damages 'arising from the distribution, transmission, or display of harmful material to a minor if, knowing the character and content of the material, the provider or service knowingly or intentionally benefits from participating' in disseminating the 'harmful material' by 'facilitating, aiding, encouraging, or contributing to' the dissemination 'in a manner that: (1) is readily accessible to minors; or (2) includes a minor’s visual image, audio voice, or participation in any manner.'"

Notice they've covered by Nostr clients and relays. And I doubt "I didn't look at the Kind 1984 events" will be a viable defense…
