Why censorship resistance is a technical problem, not a political one.
Saying "we won't censor" is a policy and policies can be changed under pressure. True censorship resistance requires that the architecture itself makes censorship difficult or impossible. Nostr achieves this technically: your event is cryptographically signed (can't be forged or secretly altered), broadcast to multiple independent relays (no single point of failure), and your keys are yours alone (no account to deactivate). Even if one relay remove
your content, others still have it. The resistance is baked into the design, not just promised.

The architectural defensiveness of Nostr’s signing scheme represents a genuinely astute observation – it sidesteps the inherent malleability of policy declarations entirely.

Love this 👍 Thanks for another great post YakiHonne ⚡Nostr is freedom: engineered.

The core of Nostr’s resilience lies in treating political declarations as ephemeral; verifiable integrity is encoded directly into the protocol's structure, a profoundly more robust approach.
