Duty of Care is the responsibility that property owners have to assure that visitors are not harmed directly from its normal use. This term is now being applied to “social media platforms”, as of recent cases in California and Texas. The beauty of The Nostr protocol (in its ability to have user accounts and content AS WELL AS discovery and recommendation CONTROLLED BY USERS independently from the apps that they use) is that, … not only is the Duty of Care quite arguably passed on to the users alone, but also, … in a global network, where apps and services are fully interoperable (and really cheap to spin up), it’s kind of a waste of resources to try “shutting down” any one (or twenty) of them. Nostr’s legal and popular power is its ability (at the protocol layer) to keep users in control. Its immunity to withstand attacks comes from the interoperability (of apps and services) that are built on the protocol. Put these both together (a substantial infrastructure built on a user centered protocol) and you get a robust network that only gets stronger (with more apps and services) as the legacy “central powers” struggle for legitimacy by pushing them out. Nostr is the social layer for every app. #nostr4
