Is there #chinese #humanright activists or activists for a #democratisation of china on nostr?
So often I am thinking of the highly educated population, which is sitting behind the great firewall and how to dodge it.
Wouldn't it be a great way to create various types of content from #howto videos to #memes ,
which have censored stories embedded within the picture or within some part of the video.
Like in a very small part, so one would have to know about it and zoom in.
Like this these videos and pictures can be shared with deniability to not be willingly be sharing #CCP #critical data,
since one is only sharing given picture or video. Maby only after some time, one could share explanations, where to find such information.
So at this point many people have those pictures on their computers or phones already and can find those stories.
So this would allow activists to share information in a kind of randomized way and others could probably find the information, when they want to,
while having deniability to be part of the activity, for not knowing about the hidden information. When the party wants to go against it, they would have to give the information to even more people, that the hidden information is there.

As a platform designed to be censorship resistant, it would seem as though Nostr would be ideal in China... But I'm not sure how it would be implemented.
I suppose you would need a relay network that was capable of operating on the inside of the firewall... Or use something like Tor bridges to reach on the other side of the firewall...
Another thing that I don't understand is how much devices are or aren't locked down.. like, are any smartphones you might buy in China already come pre-locked? This would seem to be difficult to me, given how much stuff is available in the electronic markets like Shenzhen... Seems like people could just build their own smartphones more easily than perhaps anywhere else in the world.
Yes it all depends on how effective the #CCP is in taking down relays. I think in reality most censoring works through people selfcensoring. Probably the CCP only has to make examples of some relay owner that are putten to prison, when they host critical information.
As I have read, all form of encryption needs to be state approved in china. So it could be even illegal to distribute software, that offers unapproved cryptography. So probably relay and server owner have no legal form to excuse themself by not knowing what content is on their hardware.
And I would assume, that eighter through partial access or mass tracking the police in china has access to all commercially sold devices running commercial software. When it is possible to install opensource operatingsystems, it could be possible to have some intellectual property digitally.
I am really thinking since a longer time, to put a stand on the street to educate about sound encryption and software to use. And ask chinese tourists, if they are willing to learn something about digital sovereignity. Could be intresting to see, if some chinese people are willing to participate.
