Isn’t everything I do on Nostr public and revealing about me if I am my actual self on Nostr? So I may own my data and choose my client, but my social graph is public, my notes are public, and that info can be gathered. Or are you meaning that I can anonymize my account and stay private? This is something I’ve struggled with about the protocol and its clients and how my data works in conjunction with freedom and privacy on a transparent protocol.

Good points. There will be publicly available data you create that you cannot stop people from seeing. Indeed you put it there But I’ve seen a health startup pitch the idea of Nostr as a tool to reveal some personal data but not all in relation to your health history So I see a future in which your nsec helps to control who gets to see what about you (at your choice and o some degree)
