Let's be realistic here, there are only two ways to stay safe from the law; 1. No one knows where you are, in which case even if they take down your DNS. You create another and people follow you. But you stay out of jail. 2. There are too many law breakers. Bitcoin Miners for example use the second approach (pools are irrelevant as they are hot swappable). If your application is serving 100s of users instead of millions, and there are 100s of alternatives... you are practically unstoppable because the cost of prosecution is not worth it.

Agreed. I mean, we can discuss whether Nostr has reached the stage of hundreds of users with hundreds of alternatives yet. In my opinion, at the relay level, not really. If you go for folks using Cloudflare and half a dozen public relays, Nostr becomes a very quiet place. But everyone is hard at work to improve the situation. And every time I see Vitorstruggling to update Amethyst to work with the Outbox model, but keep going anyway, I smile a bit inside. Things are slowly moving in the right direction.
