Serwer. Again. 👏👏👏
❝Legal immunity plus anonymity equals impunity. It would be logical to think that [always being masked], agents could literally get away with murder.
…
People who are assured that they won’t face consequences for abusing power almost inevitably do so. One wonders if this is actually the government’s purpose in masking them.…The masks may work less to protect federal agents from danger than to to make it easier for them to do unspeakable things.❞

Anonymous NFL player poll: Tom Brady’s dual role, Bad Bunny's Super Bowl, tush push ban https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6999648/2026/01/28/nfl-player-poll-anonymous-2026/

Panel talking about dark markets on nostr.
Nostr can be quite anonymous and encrypted and connected to payment via bitcoin. Can it therefore do Silk Road? Allow anonymous markets?
Nobody wants to publicly advocate for selling illegal drugs, but yeah, sure, people could do that. There's even protocol types for market places.
Relay owners might get into legal issues if they are forwarding illegal market listings. But this is true in general, there are also illegal images and even illegal text.
Nostr relays and Devs might find themselves in legal trouble anyway, due to the general legal crackdowns on internet requiring age proof and id on websites obstensively to protect kids. These are freedoms we all need to fight for. Perhaps brains will drain to more free jurisdictions? Devs move to where open development is legal? Not the panel at least. They want to say at home.
