Core devs are opening the doors to regulators, discouraging the use of nodes for regular people. On the other hand, Luke gave us the possibility to filterout the shit and build Datum for our other big problem. But yeah, probably he has a secret plan to rule the world with uncle Larry and the Wef

He doesn’t even give you that option, his node doesn’t stop you from relaying spam txs, since your node relays them anyways once they are in a block. Its literally an entire lie
It also seems like holy edition would have to be pro censorship to filter out data transactions when new spam types surface. So luke would have to selectively censor utxos when they have data stored in them.
That seems much more likely to result in a OFAC-complaint version of bitcoin, so im curious why you think its the opposite
Data transaction censorship in a P2P electronic cash system sounds like what a lot of people want.
It's already headed towards OFAC compliance anyway, so there's no stopping it with Core or Knots.
Just answer why Core will blowup the filter, but with ground technical knowledge fund it. All the rest is nothing.
