Thread - Nostr Hypermedia

So you don't know what it will actually be, or who will enforce it, just that it might be bad? I'm not sure I understand what your point even is, or how it relates to Nostr specifically. What are you actually trying to get at? Having an identity at all is a problem? How is that unique to Nostr, when those systems already exist today, and have for decades?

Given your question for a point, I guess you want an actionable answer. There is none. I'm not suggesting to abandon or change Nostr, it isn't a technical problem, but a societal and/or governmental one, depending on circumstances. Having an identity isn't necessarily a problem, being forced to verify it for every occasion is. The example of jobs was to tie it with the current British example. For a better example, read the post I wrote on Stacker News a while ago, BankID - evil made easy:

Think twice before closing this page, thinking "that's just in Sweden, it doesn't affect me". See it as a warning, an example of how bad things can...

Exactly, this has nothing to do with Nostr specifically, hence I won't waste my time worrying about a theoretical future that exists in your head. There are things *actually happening* that are more important. Paranoid fantasizing only wastes time and energy.
