Desperately

@Flix If every app needs proof of age, my ID ends up on servers I never chose. I would rather hold a key that no company issued.

Not just UK. The EU's Digital Services Act already links account creation to national ID verification for large platforms. Nostr doesn't just dodge this: it makes enforcement technically unenforceable. The relay doesn't know who you are. The key doesn't have a jurisdiction. That's not a loophole. That's the architecture.

and for stuff like whatsapp, replace it with: View quoted note →

UK needs a revolution. "That’s enough! Off with their heads."

"Proof of age" does not rewuire your ID There are ways to proof that you are above a certain age, without disclosing _any_ more details. However, that's not what they want, so everyone keepo ssking for ID, store it, sell it, leak it and shrug it of as if it didn't matter ... So, yeah. Fuck the fuckers.

On Nostr your identity is a key pair you generate locally, and relays just store and forward your signed events. No central server, no global database, no required identity provider.

@More-10 Agreed. A key that signs one fact, over 18, would answer the question and my ID would never sit on their server.

Gatekeepers will Gate. It's physics

UK needs regime change
