The same problem applies to speech.
María, a nurse in Caracas, couldn't trust the phone call. Couldn't post on Instagram — the algorithm decides what gets seen, what gets removed, what gets reported.
Ahmed, a journalist in the Middle East, needed to publish. His government controlled every platform. Except one.
On Nostr, there is no central server to pressure. No company to threaten. No switch.
The message reaches whoever wants to receive it.
