Personally I would also like to think that, but unfortunately Im not in the business of assuming the best from a company that has proven again and again that it does not stand on the side of human freedom.

IMO the financial incentives are perversed here regardless of whether it happens or not which is what I find concerning, as it potentially faces Ocean with deciding between being compliant to Tether’s demands and going bankrupt.

Im not deep into how Ocean works which is why I asked, but afaik the templates give submitters authority over what transactions to include, while Ocean theoretically retains control over what templates it accepts, no?
