You sure this is Elon’s explicit choice? I know the EU has been trying to force his hand to shut down certain channels. This could be similar. Not that I trust the man 100%, but he did remove a LARGE amount of old Twitter’s censorship when he stepped in.
Nostr still has him beat because censorship is basically impossible here. But to give credit where credit is due…
Instagram is huge in India. Like incredibly huge. Think hundreds of millions of people easily over half a billion. Besides multiple organic ecosystems of businesses, freelancers and artists, there's also a lot of political content over there making fun of, memeing and criticising all sides of the political spectrum.
And people speak multiple languages, lot of them with over tens of millions of native and exclusive speakers, so they likely wouldn't understand things in the first place to be able to know what to censor.
They can't censor all of it simply because of the sheer numbers and diversity 😂
Adoption-wise, the ability to make accounts private is a big deal for people like me who aren't public personalities and just want people in my circles alone to see my posts.
Yes I do. If I remember correctly, it was under government pressure then too. This is the reason Bitcoin is such a big deal: satoshi is a nobody that, therefore, cannot be dragged before some government arm to be pressured into stuff.
Pois é, enquanto as redes sociais tiverem donos e forem centralizadas, vão sempre se submeter aos momentos e vontades de governos, pois permitem ações direcionadas.
Temos que continuar chamando as pessoas para o #nostr
