FYI this is the same logic for OFAC-complaint mining filters.
This is the perspective that has gotten missed:. There is no context in which you would let random, anonymous strangers upload 100kb files to your computer on a self-regulating p2p network. The constant appeals to censorship resistance are a complete red herring. Mempool filters

If you ask a random sample of people what they would do with a time machine that could take them 10 years into the past, a large percentage would tell their past selves to “buy bitcoin.”. Only a tiny percentage of those same people would think that advice is still good today 🤔.

So what are they going to do about @rstormsf?.
Assistant Attorney General Galeotti gave an encouraging but incomplete speech at the AIP summit today. The highlight is a commitment to respect FinCEN guidance on non-custodial software development going forward. That’s good to hear. But Coin Center has some questions. He said,.
