For years, there has been FUD that Bitcoin's blockchain could be criminalised by storing CSAM on it.

For years, the answer has always been that Bitcoin doesn't support data storage, and the offending content is not the blockchain itself, but the additional software used to transform the blockchain into CSAM.

By sanctioning data storage, Core 30 is eliminating that argument. There will no longer be any additional software required, your Bitcoin node itself will provide CSAM on demand, using a well-defined and officially supported format.

The very reason "CSAM on the chain" was FUD, is being _destroyed_ by Core 30. They are making it a _true_ accusation. No amount of obfuscation will change this fact.

This is not the _only_ reason to reject Core 30. But even if it was, it would _still_ be strong reason to do so.

I do not agree.

We can today storage data on any restaurant menu any nobody is requesting a full KYC before opening a menu when I want to order pizza.

Putting something we calle "data" on any medium does not make it illegal.

Me thinks....

Your point highlights the different between realism and idealism.

I would like to world to be ideally one thing, that doesn't mean that the world is like this.

???

If you are knowingly hosting a menu with csam you can expect to be held criminally liable for that.

It would be the same if you are hosting csam in your computer because you run a bitcoin node.

This has nothing to do with kyc.

Just say you like watching CSAM and support v30.
