The EU's Chat Control proposal wants platforms to scan every private message for illegal content. Sounds reasonable — until you realize there's no backdoor only the good guys can use. Encryption is either whole or it's broken.
4.6 billion people already live under active internet censorship. This isn't a slippery slope argument. It's the current trajectory.
Nostr exists because this was always coming. Who controls the pipes controls the speech. Is privacy a default right — or a privilege governments grant? #Freedom #Privacy #Nostr #Sovereignty
