The decentralized social network application of Damus has been banned from operating in the mainland of China, mainly because of concerns that its application contains illegal specific content in China.

The mobile app is a decentralized version number of Twitter, which was released on the App Store on February 1 after being rejected repeatedly.

Only 24 hours after its launch, the number of users of this mobile phone has soared to more than 45000, becoming the second most popular social network in China.

However, the China Network Environment Management Office (CAC) has taken action to delete this application from the China Application Mall to control its rise. CAC claimed that the use of Damus contained illegal specific content in China.

In addition, Damus heard that it violated the "security risk assessment requirements of Internet-based information services, which have characteristics or journalistic professionalism or can be used for social mobilization"

According to the Nostr social application, it aims to let customers have good control over their data and specific content, while clearing the requirements of KYC process.

This restriction will prevent mainland Chinese customers from downloading and browsing the Damus mobile app for free. However, this application can be used in the application stores in other countries/regions.

In addition, the download volume of Damus's software store has exceeded 56000 times, growing steadily.
