A timechain full of child porn that no one can stop or remove hands significant ammo to anti-bitcoin politicians. Why wouldn’t we do all we can to prevent that…even if we couldn’t block all spam?

There’s already been illicit content on every bitcoin node for years now… accept it and move on.
Nope. I won’t accept it. I’ll fight it. I switched to Knots where I have a greater control over my node. Not sure why you wouldn’t want to limit child porn on the blockchain, unless you’re into that kind of thing … maybe Core is.
Well damn. I considered storing information on the blockchain before, (email specifically) but I never fully considered the implications. I want to see what happens if people start uploading CP to the Bitcoin blockchain.
Would it damage the price of Bitcoin? Would chain analysis tools be restricted? Or would it get people to rethink the reasonableness of child porn laws?
Personally I trust the mantra "nothing ever happens." People would just pretend that the child porn doesn't exist, or come up with a retarded rationalization for why it doesn't count.
The effort you put into blocking this sort of thing with your node is completely fucking useless. Put equivalent effort into attacking the problem at the root.
