#Day11 #21DaysOfNostr
Nostr isn’t the finished product when it comes to privacy yet, and that much is clear. For example, clients like Primal still see your IP address, and some available wallets require KYC. There may be other privacy concerns I’m not yet aware of.
We’re seeing an increasing trend where our digital identities are tied to everything we do in our daily lives. This is becoming more dangerous with each passing day.
As an Englishman living in the UK, I’m not surprised that the police are using social media as an entrapment tool, further encroaching on privacy. It’s nothing new. The current issue is that they’re leveraging the murder of children to push their agenda even further, twisting the narrative as if it’s about race—when in reality, it’s about one human taking the lives of others. When people voice their opinions about it, they’re painted as the problem.
You can’t walk 100 meters in an urban area of the UK without being caught on CCTV. People are scared to talk to each other openly. Everyone has become a zombie to their phone. At the airport, your dignity is stripped away in the name of movement. This invasion of privacy extends to supermarkets, bus stations, and even charity shops. We’re far from where we should be—privacy for UK citizens is nearly gone. The Orwellian state is here. We live in fear—fear of wrong think, both in real life and online.
Nostr is my white pill. It brings me hope. It’s not perfect, but it’s a resource no other platform offers. My identity isn’t directly linked to me unless I choose it to be. I can post without fear of censorship. I can express information and opinions without facing severe repercussions. It gives me hope that one day, my children might be able to truly live free.
