For "democratic approach" I mean collaborative.
I don't think democracy is perfect, in fact it has many flaws, but generally it works sufficiently well if it's supported by a good cultural and collaborative attitude.
I'm all in for empower people with privacy tools, but I fail to understand how they can immediately fix the mentioned illustrative issue.

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.
