In 1993, the **Cypherpunk Manifesto** warned: *“We cannot expect corporations or governments to grant us privacy.”*

Today, that warning is our reality. We’ve moved from "using the cloud" to being managed by it.

**The current battlefronts:**
1. **OS-Level IDs:** With eIDAS 2.0 and new "Age Assurance" laws (CA, UK, AU), your identity is being baked into the kernel. Your phone isn't a tool; it's a digital leash that "broadcasts" your status to every app you open.
2. **Cloud Feudalism:** We traded sovereignty for convenience. Now, "Software as a Service" means "Surveillance as a Service," where your data is scanned for "compliance" before you even hit save.
3. **The End of Anonymity:** When the operating system itself requires a government-linked handshake to function, the "General Purpose Computer" is dead.

**The Cypherpunk Response:**
We don't ask for permission. We write code.

**Nostr** is the modern realization of this manifesto. It replaces centralized gatekeepers with a protocol. It doesn't care about your "verified age" or your government ID—only your keys.

Privacy is a private act. Stop waiting for a "Privacy Policy" to save you and start using tools that don't need one.

The eIDAS point cuts deep. When your OS requires a government handshake to boot, the threat model has inverted — the device *is* the state. Nostr keys are the only rational response: identity that exists before permission is asked. #bitcoin #nostr #cypherpunk
