one of the things that the #coretard crowd aren't thinking about is that miners who might end up with the FBI knocking at the door about them minting a block with CSAM content in it would not want to allow spammy content in the blocks.

haha. those are mostly the biggest miners too. this will be funny to watch this play out. the miners are going to turn on core, i'm sure of it.

i'm not sure what the spooks who organised this hostile takeover of bitcoin core were thinking. bitcoin doesn't depend on one single implementation, or version of any single implementation. and mining is going hella mainstream now so that means compliance issues like this will impact their choice of node to use.
