Replying to Avatar Blake

For maximum censorship resistance, you want to be a fish in a school of fish - very hard to isolate and eat.

Adding fine-grained (often ‘controversial’) metadata to single you out, makes you, and those who interact a target.

Any examples?

Of which in particular?

The simplest example that comes to mind is IP address leakage, VPNs and geo-blocking. Tor for example leverages the school of fish analogy.

Another example is the Tornado Cash transaction banning. Tying metadata to transactions makes them a target for censorship.
