Depends on how a relay is determined as "trusted" in regards to the network; if done by community consensus, there's at least a good level of transparency in how the community views a relay operator and their conduct.

App developers and those who have (or has, if not sufficiently pushed back for it) advocated for and created censorship tools for Nostr deciding this is a terrible fucking idea.

I’m not sure what you mean but relays should just publish their policies and let ppl decide whether to use them or not. Consensus shouldn’t be a part of this.

My statement boils down to "trusted relays as a concept, depending on execution, is either good or terrible" and I lean towards community crowdsourcing of opinion as the best way to execute on that concept.

Although transparent policy listings aren't a bad idea either.

Crowdsourcing rules for speech is a terrible idea.
