Replying to Avatar Nate

The argument fails where it implies legal liability for other people's actions.

I have not looked at 99% of the blocks in the chain. No idea what is in them. Don't care. Not liable for their contents

Its like arguing that I am an accessory to money laundering bc one block contains money laundering transactions

I am not a lawyer, but wouldn't you also need to delete the illegal data?

This would be impossible to comply with as a Bitcoin node runner. You need an intact blockchain to run a full node. Scary situation if so.

If the illegal content was in the prunable part of the ledger ie the op_return people could run nodes free from content. The real issue is that these clowns think blocks every ten minutes with 4mb max is a viable data storage strategy. These are not serious people.
