For users, #tor fixes this - servers and relays can't be force to reveal your real IP and identity if they never had it. For operators, #tor also fixes this - they can't kick in your door and steal all your stuff if they can't even tell which continent your server is really in.

When they come for Nostr they will: 1. Target the biggest relays first. 2. Some might/will fall 3. There will always be some that won't AND that content, identity will always live forever 4. Torrents never ended. The model is simply too hard to beat and then there's the private tracker thing, etc, etc Nostr is truly an incredible work and an incredible tool.

If this is what I think, the dude had plaintext database backups at his house. They seized those. And DMs weren't encrypted last time I looked at it. Gleason knows for sure.

One difference between the fediverse and the nosterverse are accounts. If it has a username and password vs permissionless login. This is what I'm noticing in many of v4v style hosting programs. Step 1, make an account. Making accounts is lame. And then that server becomes a target. Where we're going, we don't need accounts.

A pro tip I got from an actual digital forensic person who did this stuff. Just have a shit ton of sd cards filled with everything. It's like a denial of service on the investigator. He admitted to me he will hate you and if it takes longer than a month he will give up. It pays to be a hoarder.

Nostr relays are likely better because their only job is to store and forward information. They have no concept of private vs public information and are untrusted by default. It's up to the client, rather than the relays, to keep private information encrypted and secure. A seizure of a nostr relay would be useless in this same situation.

It does not really matter wether nodes have a concept of private or public. The moment a node stores information and the moment that nodes have owners, they might be held responsible just like the Fediverse guys. Sad but true.
