OP_RETURN doesn’t create CSAM, just like TCP/IP doesn’t. Neutral protocols endure because they don’t encode ideology. BIP-110 trades neutrality for moral theater and weakens censorship resistance. Run it if you want, just don’t confuse a policy fork with Bitcoin’s most-work chain.

If they didn't notice that they lost this battle when Peter Todd put the entirety of BIP-444 in a transaction in a way that was BIP-444 compliant it's a good sign you're arguing with someone who can't listen to reason. Just enjoy the airdropped fork, assuming you can dump it before the 51% attacks and zero market value make it completely zero bid. Big if. Not saying anyone has to like the fact that this is how information works. But heads in sand rarely change the nature of reality. At BEST it'd solve a legal problem -- but only one of their own making. The ethics aren't any different; contiguous or otherwise. And if bitcoin is about legality we've already lost the ethical battle anyway.
