According to the Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC), the Damus app contains material that is illegal in China.
Damus, a decentralized social network app, has been prohibited from running in mainland China due to suspicions that it contains content that is forbidden there.
After being rejected several times, the mobile software, which is a decentralized version of Twitter, became available on the AppStore on February 1.The smartphone app’s user base soared past 45,000 just 24 hours after introduction, making it China’s second-most popular social network.
By deleting the app from the China App Store, the Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) has taken action to slow down this growth. The CAC asserted that the Damus app contains material that is forbidden in China.
In addition, Damus is said to violate “the provisions of the security assessment of internet-based information services with an attribute or public opinion or capable of social mobilization.”
The Nostr-based social app was created to do away with the requirement for a KYC procedure and allow users total control over their data and content.
The Damus mobile application will not be accessible or downloadable to users in mainland China as a result of the restriction. However, the software is accessible in other nations’ app marketplaces. The social network app, however, has grown steadily as its App Store downloads have topped 56,000.
