I don't know if we've seen this before with Bitcoin, but censoring transactions isn't cool. If you mine with F2Pool, you may want to reconsider where you have your hashpower pointed. I recommend Braiins Pool.
My miningpool-observer project recently reported six OFAC-sanctioned transactions as missing from blocks.
Four of these transactions were likely filtered by F2Pool. This is the first filtering based on OFAC sanctions I've seen.

Discussion
Even if they sanction those transactions they will eventually be included. What does f2pool do then as they will always be including them from that point forward.
The in question transactions were eventually included in the timechain but that doesn't make what they did better. They're free to do whatever they wish, but actions have consequences, such as miners moving their hash to pools that better align with the ethos of Bitcoin.
Indeed..I think what they did was wrong. People say don't fight the Fed, now it's more like don't fight #bitcoin
Doesn't Foundry also censor?
I used to mine at F2. Fuck them. Statist shit bags
