Florida has banned social media for minors (supplanting parents' right to make that choice), California wants to KYC social media users, and Facebook just sold their users' DMs to Netflix. Nostr is as needed as ever.

wow i did not know DM's can be sold . A lot of customer support programmes is tied to FB DMs. Even gov't agencies engage through FB DMs. And banks lol. Bank customer support request private details through DM to resolve issues. Pretty crazy for a 3rd party to buy all this info.

Funniest thing ever. I left these sites when it switched from social networking to social media. It used to be about the users not anymore. ALL ABOUT RECORD PROFITS!!

Should be noted that it’s totally possible to follow the law while using Nostr. Nostr doesn’t require anyone to break the law.

reminder: the_valley is non-profit.
No different than Uganda taxing "social media" for everyone. The net effect was that the popular quickly discovered decentralized and federated social media - a very positive effect. The law is only effective on centralized "social media" that requires registration. The Uganda govt was paywalling IPs of large centralized outfits like Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, etc Someone will have to look at the Florida law in detail to see if 3rd party registration (such as for Activity Pub sites run by someone else) is prohibited. Yet another incentive to run your own or go fully decentralized.
How long until someone writes a chrome extension that finds and automatically deletes unsolicited brand DMs? Also, nothing stops that on Nostr, but at least we can share npub blacklists to mitigate it on our own.

Even if the law was about protecting minors and not about controlling access to information, it will be used to control access to information.
Understand that catching pedophiles is the lie they sell you to enforce censorship and sounds like you would buy it, hook line and sinker. If they really wanted to take out pedophiles they would go after Epstein's list.
Yes, when people say they have nothing to hide, they didn't think of it as an abusive parent rummaging through their pictures, emails and texts.
I grew up finding out that 99% of my peers at school were at some point or at that point were being molested by pedophiles at various degrees of degeneracy at the highest point being the victims started to enjoy the abuse. I will never forgive any of you demons. The idea that only elite pedophiles will be prosecuted is the most ignorant thing on the planet. To hell with you and the rest
You want a police state to catch the pedos but don't worry about the traffickers at the top who run the operations. You're just a troll. Muted.
if you think that the govt banning an IOS app is where you draw the line at free speech you are so fucking late, youd have to be the most unaware person on earth to think that thats where their overstep started., you literal pedophiles can only think about molesting other kids yout dont give a rats ass about free speech
