@pre@boing.worldPanel 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.

“The CFO of OpenAI, Sarah Friar, gave the game away a week ago when she said that she was thinking that there was a role for the government to play in backstopping the future investments of companies like OpenAI, that is a terrible idea.[…]
You know, everybody on Wall Street is excited about this #bubble. 34% of the market value is in the big companies. The private ones have notional values that would make them, you know, Fortune 200 companies. ...."
