Title: Who should control the internet?
Description:
In this episode of Get Me to the Gray, Paula speaks with researcher and decentralized technology advocate Wouter Constant about Nostr, an open protocol designed to move social media away from centralized platforms like Meta, Google, and X. Instead of a single company controlling the platform, Nostr distributes communication across independent servers called relays, allowing anyone to build apps that connect to the same network. Supporters argue this architecture reduces corporate control and protects free expression. But it also raises difficult questions: if no company is in charge, who is responsible when things go wrong? What follows is a conversation about the trade-offs between freedom and accountability, the limits of corporate moderation, the risks of open systems, and what it might mean to rebuild the internet’s communication infrastructure from the ground up.

Title: NOSTR: Why Jack Dorsey Put Millions Behind This Censorship Resistant Protocol!
Description:
Is there such a thing as free internet if your accounts get censored or banned from social media? In this episode, Wouter Constant joins me to advocate for a revolutionary new protocol called NOSTR, designed to make the internet more censorship-resistant by separating identity, content, and distribution from centralised platforms. This conversation challenges the idea that bans, shadow moderation, and platform dependence are just the cost of convenience and asks whether a truly open internet can exist without permission.
