I hate how a huge attack vector is treated as a distraction
Discussion
Because gov can already put CSAM onchain anytime but mining the block themselves. So this supposed attack vector has already been available for more than a decade basically.
Now they don't have to mine it, because of Libre Relay and v30
Right, but shutting down v30 won't protect us against this attack, and if anyone is genuinely trying to build defense against this, then making people believe it will is downright counter-productive.
I don't understand the logic behind people that think in absolutes. The ability to do so now takes expertise. Even safes are cracked with expertise, and are not 100% effective against a motivated party.
That point is completely irrelevant when asking if something should be allowed by protocol as a standard.
The logic is that, since we're talking about a governmental attack, they can definitely access that expertise, and increasingly so in the future. I'm not saying I support v30 btw, but getting it out of the picture won't protect against said attack.
It's a bit like locking your door to prevent the special forces to enter, if you want. Not a reason not to lock your door, but let's not be delusional here.
