I'm trying to learn about it what I can, but even in my non-techy brain I grasp that yes, they're an attack on #btc because data requires space. The greater the data and need for space, the more the need to "improve/update" nodes to points where they'd become less affordable to run.

This is my understanding within the limited confines of my knowledge.

Now think about what evil people might upload, have fun validating snuff content and CP on your node.

Definitly not going to be used to go after Node operators and or blackmail them

That's beyond the scope of what I could imagine.

It scares me how truth this is!

There is no reason why an attacker couldn't do that already. Consensus allows it.

An attack like that would probably come from a govt because it would require law enforcement involvement to follow up on the threat. As soon as they get one node runner it would be obvious to everyone who the attacker is. The data could then be pruned before they could go after any significant number of node operators. No one is forced to store any data that is in op_return or witness if they don't want to.

Of course it would come from a government

Yeah and it would fail pretty hard while exposing the attacker. It's not really a credible argument for filters because it's already possible.
