Until someone doesn't care and puts up relays anyway and people use those. Its already playing out in reverse with the UK going after US companies despite the lack of jurisdiction so we'll see how it plays out. Nostr was hit by that to with if I recall correctly nostr.build or another image host blocking the UK out of fear. And then people can just upload images elsewhere to allow UK citizens to see them. Of course a decentralized platform is not immune entirely, but the magic is that the damage is contained to the effected relay. Which people could put proxy relays up for, aggregated relays, etc. So lets say the default relays in amethyst all comply in the end and some russian rents a bullet proof vps and begins to offer an aggregator relay that combines them. Users add the relay and they are back. That means that Noste as a protocol is resillient. Your identity is not tied to a particular relay which makes it unenforcable, some clients connect over tor making it more unenforcable and its easy to setup proxies making it even more unenforcable. Compare that to a platform that has a corporation behind it and centralized servers, or something like bluesky with to much centralized control and they get you on the central point of failure. Nostr is as good as its going to get (until they find a way to do this even more decentral).

Can't argue with much of that, but there is no path to scale that way. It ends up as a bunch of geeks hiding in the bushes, which, fine, Nostr can end up as that. But if Nostr is to scale to normies then it'll have to live in the real world, where laws exist and laws matter. Technically it can't play the Bittorrent card (it's exposed to a fundamentally different set of chokepoints) and socially it can't either.
I disagree. Lets take another real world example which is Matrix. Matrix has an official homeserver. Matrix is a UK based company that works with multiple governments on custom branded government instances. Thats quite mainstream and normie. Matrix has updated the terms of service of their homeserver that they will comply with the UK safety act. This effects their homeserver. I as a non UK citizen strongly object to that so I left this official instance and went to a US based instance hosted by anti censorship advocates. This means that while matrix.org is fully compliant and can scale, I as a user don't have to deal with that although migrating was more painful than it is on nostr. Now I am on a freedom loving instance, and they can enforce those rules on their one as much as they want. Same thing here, people can be on relays that censor posts that don't comply on region block missisipi just fine. So can I as I am not from there. But I also have the freedom to post to the more freedom advocating ones that would refuse to comply. So lets say primal bans missisipi, thats to bad. But I have the liberty to post to both primal and to any other relay that lets me. So if my posts get blocked in missisipi trough primal they can still see my posts elsewhere as sendit is sending it to a whole bunch of relays. Thats how that scaling issue is solved. By a mix of region law compliant and uncompliant relays. And again an uncompliant relay does not have to be isolated or rogue, it can simply be a proxy to the one available to the rest of the world. Those in missisipi with overreaching laws would have to find those, not us in the rest of the world.
