use samourai or sparrow and it will notify you of dust transactions and you can mark them as do not spend
use better tools designed to offer privacy protection

If some btc is marked as “do not spend” that means that btc is dead right? Then that’s a rigid attack from a regular side
dust is like 547 sats
you just don’t want to combine that dust uxto with your other uxtos in order to protect against dust attack vector
you can still spend it if you want
it will be lumped into your “balance” you may see if you use a wallet that doesn’t provide you with uxto control
if dumb ass chain analysis wants to waste their sats that is on them just protect your own privacy if you care

Depends if you know about it as the holder of those keys. If you had no idea then you could technically send it around all over. You may get arrested if the authorities are valid in your country but you could argue you had no idea they were flagged.
Probably depends a lot on local legal system, legal precedent and whatnot. Very interesting to see what would happen.
I see. Good that there are wallets like them. Still bit worried for those who are not aware of such attack, and accidentally spend btc with it as not all wallets are like that.
spend some time learning
need improvement in this ecosystem when they have to choose “right” methods and wallets to use their btc
