⚡️🚨 ALERT - If you're in the UK, France, and some other European country you'll need to provide ID to use X fully.

I've just checked: You can't use a VPN to get around this requirement.

Everything is speeding up good luck, but the UK and Europe are doomed and I have no illusions.

The police have already shown they can arbitrarily arrest you for "inciting hatred". With compulsory ID, how far will they go? #asknostr

Thank you for sharing

Well, that sounds like an enticing offer.

This doesn't seem accurate. Currently X gives uses the option to provide ID and also may request it when investigating certain policy breaches but I cannot find info of a blanket ID request to use X as this post suggest

Community notes clarifies that ID verification is only for creator studio something or other. But if they have the ability to ask for ID there, then it wont be long before governments force it everywhere.

Fuck this dystopia #nostronly

It's almost as if the 2nd amendment is the most important legislation ever written.

I wrote about the same requirements being rolled out in Australia in December. I can’t wait for the wonderful safe internet we will be able to create for ourselves and our children 🌞🌈 nostr:naddr1qqxnzde4xq6rzwpjxcenxdfcqgsv4dx3zyzms605pyjhpssmawrgnn6jrde62qk63npp6vnfu6dyczgrqsqqqa28qy28wumn...

Only normies and larpers will keep using twitter and other social networks on the same boat.

I’m done playing their game. ⚡ We zap, not beg. ⚡ We speak, not register. ⚡ We build, not comply. #Nostr is the exit. #Bitcoin is the lifeboat. No ID required. Just signal.

If governments are good at anything its incrementalism. Would love to get a look at their upcoming roadmap for the next 5 years.. No matter what, just remember what time it is https://image.nostr.build/a57557825b579fe91ccbb2cdd5fbeffedd25e20c6cdb0216fa9043af6897ef7d.jpg

If you can’t use a VPN to avoid this how are they identifying location? Do you have a credit card or country configured in the account you were testing in?

So, what percentage of people will rather show the ID and a video of themselves than join THE Nostr?

Exactly why nostr:nprofile1qyx8wumn8ghj7cnjvghxjmcpz4mhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejqqgzn9kpsmllqnsf7wh5tz3wgy4cclsftqqplv8tpayrhwgw8llunevgnmdf3 and nostr:nprofile1qy8hwumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnvdakqzrmhwden5te0dehhxarj9ekk7mgqyzu0jtnpuuw5tp4wdlnfwrmnm58ahzgpp9vfut6p00h5gkam4ykg6gdc3zu exist.

Doomed indeed. I left in 2018 and will never go back.

I'm glad I got out in 2001, will be interesting to see what happens

Here in Australia these new laws go into effect in December. To use any social media, (the definition of social concludes everything from games like Minecraft to YouTube, news websites etc. Literally anything where you can send a message or write a comment the Australian government considers socia...

Very unfortunate, but very predictable. Will probably apply to every kind of media. If they go all rogue maybe every online service? What is the other European country?

Covid showed us that the more we comply, the harsher the next round of oppression will be! The restrictions only started to lighten up when they stopped getting compliance. They only have the power that we let them have and they really fear us realising that. This is why they are clamping down on...

They will go way far since they don't have to even try to find who is behind the account. My X profile has a pinned message bringing people here.

Why doesn’t vpn work

Will apps like these end up with the same restrictions or removed from app stores?
