LN is in Blockstream hands is, respectfully, bullshit. LN isn't WoS and consorts. It's the Noderunners, turn off all the custodians, fine, that's easy.

But if you want to tell me the people who can't even secure a simple database will have an easy time going after individuals who are running nodes behind tor, I will doubt it until I see it.

My words are confusing sorry. More clear: The LN was made by Blockstream, a for profit company backed by bankers, and it's surely not for our privacy. The top 5 LN nodes: Around 40% of the public network

- ACINQ

- OKX

- Bitfinex

- Binance

- Kraken

They can receive pressure by government for implementing the OFAC blacklist or something like that.

It's not done yet like in Ethereum (around 40% nodes are censorship compliant) but it's obvious they will try force it. There is nothing we can do against it. It will be more and more centralized and probably more and more censored, I hope to be wrong

They will maybe try to force regulation on business accepting Bitcoin, more simple

I'd be happy to lose those 40% and be left with a lightning network made of pleb nodes. It won't be this stable, but it will survive.
