“We need more competition”… “These smaller [social app] companies don’t have a chance to compete”… “Clearly users want more choices [and] autonomy”… “We need interoperability standards.” @Taylor Lorenz

Duty of Care is the responsibility that property owners have to assure that visitors are not harmed directly from its normal use. This term is now being applied to “social media platforms”, as of recent cases in California and Texas. The beauty of The Nostr protocol (in its ability to have user accounts and content AS WELL AS discovery and recommendation CONTROLLED BY USERS independently from the apps that they use) is that, … not only is the Duty of Care quite arguably passed on to the users alone, but also, … in a global network, where apps and services are fully interoperable (and really cheap to spin up), it’s kind of a waste of resources to try “shutting down” any one (or twenty) of them. Nostr’s legal and popular power is its ability (at the protocol layer) to keep users in control. Its immunity to withstand attacks comes from the interoperability (of apps and services) that are built on the protocol. Put these both together (a substantial infrastructure built on a user centered protocol) and you get a robust network that only gets stronger (with more apps and services) as the legacy “central powers” struggle for legitimacy by pushing them out. Nostr is the social layer for every app. #nostr4

More laws do NOT equate to more freedom … but likely more opportunities for corruption. View quoted note →

Good morning Nostr. Having a standard for trust services will allow “discovery and recommendation” algos to be composed and shared by users across services. This is how Nostr realizes decentralized content moderation … by incentivizing users with FULL CONTROL of their curation experience ALONG WITH their identities and the content they create. All the while, walled gardens struggle (and fail) to stay on top of spam and disinformation with their armies of central moderators. This is how Nostr wins … by offering a better experience … driven by the protocol itself.
