DMCA & Content Policy

Last Updated: October 17th, 2025

Understanding Nymbot Architecture

Nymbot is a decentralized, pseudonymous messaging application that operates differently from traditional chat services. It's important to understand how content is distributed on our platform:

• Nymbot does not host any message or media content. We are a client/interface that displays content stored elsewhere.
• All media files (images, videos) are stored on independent Blossom servers operated by third parties.
• Message content and metadata are published to Nostr relays, which are also independently operated.
• Nymbot simply aggregates and displays this distributed content through a user-friendly interface.

Filing a DMCA Claim

Because Nymbot does not host content, we cannot directly remove infringing material. To address copyright infringement, you must contact the appropriate parties:

1. For Image/Video Content

Media files are stored on Blossom servers. You need to:

• Identify which Blossom server is hosting the content (the URL will indicate this)
• Contact the Blossom server operator directly with your DMCA takedown request
• Each Blossom server operates independently and has its own policies

2. For Messages/Metadata

If the infringing content is in a message, profile, channel name, or other metadata:

• This information is stored on Nostr relays
• Contact the specific Nostr relay operators where the content appears
• Multiple relays may store the same data due to Nostr's distributed nature

What Nymbot Can Do

While we don't host content, we can:

• Help you identify which Blossom servers or relays are hosting specific content
• Add content to a local blocklist so it doesn't appear in our interface (note: this only affects nymbot.ai, not other Nostr clients)
• Provide guidance on how to contact the appropriate service operators

To request assistance, please contact us with:

• The URL or identifier of the infringing content
• Proof of your copyright ownership
• A description of the copyrighted work

Blossom Server Operators

If you operate a Blossom server and receive a DMCA takedown request, you are responsible for handling it according to your jurisdiction's laws.

For a list of known Blossom servers, refer to the Blossom project documentation.

Important Considerations

• Decentralization: Due to the decentralized nature of Nostr and Blossom, complete removal of content from all sources may not be possible.
• Multiple Copies: Content may exist on multiple Blossom servers and relays. You may need to contact multiple operators.
• Hash-Based Storage: Blossom uses content-addressed storage. The same file will have the same hash on any server.
• No Central Control: Neither Nymbot nor any single entity has the ability to remove content from the entire network.

Counter-Notification

If you believe your content was wrongly removed from a Blossom server, you should contact that server operator directly to file a counter-notification.
