Makes sense.
But governments around the world block access to online content for a variety of reasons: to shield children from obscene content, to prevent access to copyright-infringing material or confusingly named domains, or to protect national security.
Can these and probably others factors be used to block access to Nostr?

Nope. It can't be stopped
They would have to ban all relays, which is trivial for individuals to spin up. They could try going after clients/apps, but many are open-source and can be run locally on your computer. There's no one person or company to go after.
It's also protected free speech. Nostr is just a standard for how to communicate information in a commonly understood message format. EFF and ACLU would be all over it if they tried to ban Nostr.
Yes, but it's the relay that should be blocked. Blocking nostr would be like blocking the internet.
