We definitely outsource that to police officers at the scale of a city or a region, but if you have a community (a church, a group of friends, etc) and they’re doing something that’s harmful to the group or going to get the group in trouble with the law and the community doesn’t want any part in it…It’s the responsibility of the community to protect itself. The motivation of this is to help users and communities to protect themselves from people *they* determine are bad actors in their space (their feed, their DMs, their relays for example). This isn’t about nostr-wide moderation / censorship. That’s impossible and against the ethos of Nostr. This proposal is about giving people the tools to protect themselves from bad actors. And I still am not sure I’m communicating this well, but I’m not trying to define what bad actors are. But I know that governments do, and they will go after relay operators that aren’t blocking content the governments want blocked. Nost relays running in very permissive jurisdictions will have the luxury of not needing to do content moderation. And luckily the internet is still fairly open so you can connect to any relay you like from your Nostr clients. So if you want to use relays that don’t do any moderation that’s your right! If you want to use a relay that operates in the US, then that relay operator needs tools to make sure they can stay within the boundaries of the law. I hope that Nostr chips away at the power of states so they give up on censorship. But what would help relay operators prevent copyrighted material from spreading via their relays (even if they disagree with those laws) will also be a useful tool to prevent the spread of child porn and other content that a vast majority of Nostr users will agree has no place in their community. Let’s give each person and each community the tools to curate their own domain.
