talking about kind 0's… thinking of nostr in a few years and millions of users sharing their stuff here, what are your thoughts on the risks of social exploitations of such open information? it's not a big deal today to build a social graph of nostr users, their connections, interests, political views, etc.
if one would like to target some group with fake news or propaganda, using nostr open information it's possible to identify the most active, influential hubs, etc. the more mainstream the use of nostr, the bigger opportunity in such actions.

Definitely will happen, or is happening already. We should build an extra privacy layer that can only be seen by the people that you select (family, friends, work, private).
You alone can decide whether to trust an npub. I think there is a great symbiosis between 'trusted domain names' (nip05) that can help bootstrap the trust in an npub.
We already 'trust' domain names and DNSSEC helps to ensure these domain names can't be spoofed
