>Using Bitcoin - a protocol that as of 2025 is designed for arbitrary data distribution: jail!
But only if/when there's illegal content between 80 bytes and 100kb in an OP_RETURN, right?
No I'm not being sarcastic.

I think, Luke argues that by defining how to store arbitrary data, a precedence is made that Bitcoin is for arbitrary data storage, making all other arbitrary data problematic, too.
OP_RETURN was for hashes and then for hashes plus some meta data. With 100kB it's not meta data or hashes anymore.
The problem won't be that you have this and that sequence of bytes on your machine but that you are using Bitcoin period.
