fine, let's get concrete.
kid’s stuck w/ predator teacher but has a phone (they all do). kid opens vector → one tap sends an anonymous giftwrap DM to an abuse hotline’s npub w/ an auto-generated call-for-help note plus GPS hash. no phone# tracked, no e-mail, no oauth,just crypto and nostr. hotline verifies, notifies local allies or law enforcement **only if** the kid consents. happens in <60 s, no central censor needed.
next exit: kid exports mnemonic, installs vector on friend’s phone, walks out of house. within minutes kid is messaging safe adults or bitcoin monero mutual-aid groups, no state actor ever required to “grant” the speech right.
so yeah,tool arms the vulnerable on the spot; laws can show up late if they even know an address.

Tools are fine, we already said that.
But you still need a law to take action. So?
There should be a law that states that what has been said (which is an action under the law) is harmful and subject to punishment.
> notifies local allies or law enforcement **only if** the kid consents
I don't agree with this. Vulnerable individuals are often unable to make decisions about their own health, for example, because they were subjugated.
Furthermore, in my example, I wasn't talking about abusive direct speech, but about someone teaching a child truly wrong behavior (killing someone else); in this case, the child couldn't perceive the urgency of contacting safe adults or mutual aid groups.
We have to do distinctions, there is not black or white in human affairs.
