and the other clients do and you do, if you're a relay ... or a client what does it mean to own a number? information wants to be free

Only the relays own the data. Because the power to destroy a thing is ownership over it. And only relays can choose to delete or not.

Even if you run your own relay, you have no control over where your data spreads to. You can delete it on your relay, but have no say over the other relays you’ve given it to. It’s a gossip network with no access control system

practically this is no different than anything else. technically nostr is a little harder because you don't need to trust the screenshot, but this is a simple consequence of math. what has been signed cannot be unsigned

Outbox model does. Clients get relays hints on every just about event signed (look at the event data) on this reply for example. Clients can discover these quiet/tiny relays if users want to. I personally don't like the outbox model for privacy and also security reasons, but many modern clients do...
