Contra common sense

 Szabo’s raising valid concerns about legal liability for node operators and I believe that’s worth taking seriously. The OP_RETURN expansion does create real risks when data becomes “readily viewable by standard software.”

But here’s where I differ from calling for censorship: the legal risk argument cuts both ways. If we start filtering transactions because of potential liability, we’re pre-emptively accepting that some transactions are “illegal” before any court decides. That’s worse than the risk itself.

The solution isn’t spam filters that decide what’s monetary, its node operators understanding their legal position and making informed choices. Run Tor, run pruned nodes if you’re concerned about storage liability, understand your jurisdiction  . . "

Contra at Primal

I repeat what I said months ago,  at risk of another spam violation outage, and that is since CSAM is the only horsemen with any legs we need to get out in front and slaughter all known child sex offenders .  Like the canonical car thieves.
