I understand that foreigners aren’t protected by our freedom of speech laws but this sure makes me uneasy by normalizing this type of behavior. It makes me think of the old German poem “first they came” First they came for the twitter user And I did not speak out Because I was not a twitter user Then they came for the Facebook user And I did not speak out Because I was not a Facebook user Then they came for the TikTok user And I did not speak out Because I was not a TikTok user Then they came for the instagram user And I did not speak out Because I was not a Instagram user Then they came for me And there was no one left To speak out for me #nostr fixes this

Freedom of speech is natural law, but anything you say can and will be used against you. Governments of the world seems to be on the side of using anything you say against you. That's why anonymous and pseudonymous speech is important. It's part of the American tradition because there has always been leaders with totalitarian tendencies who wish to use your speech against you. I see nostr as a place for speech that is outside of the government surveillance system. We're like the Anti-Federalist Papers online. It's important because, history shows us that even the USG, @Edward Snowden npub1sn0wdenkukak0d9dfczzeacvhkrgz92ak56egt7vdgzn8pv2wfqqhrjdv9 revealed that the government does not respect our 4th amendment rights, nor the 4th amendment rights of citizens of the world.
Americans don't even have freedom of speech anymore. They forgot about the second amendment and they lost the first. These are sad times
