You will do this regardless on a knots node, just the same as a core node

I hate this argument so much. It's core 30 that makes this easier. And then you guys say "ya but you will have this regardless because we do it lol" I will filter shit out as much as I can. I will not morally support this whatsoever.

You're not filtering jack unless you implement and enforce stricter consensus rules. Your Knots node will store and serve data you detest once it gets confirmed in a block.

So, you are saying Bitcoin is captured and states can go after node runners for hosting and distributing cp they never wanted because we have no tools to filter this stuff out, no matter which distribution we run? Hey hey congrats on that.

My mempool is my responsibility. Confirmed transactions are the miner's responsability. I can't be held responsible for other people's actions, but that doesn't mean I shouldn't act morally. Also, confirmed and unconfirmed transactions are completely different.

If you wish to make such assertions, I suggest you get an actual practicing attorney to publish an opinion to that effect. Good luck!

Feel free to employ whatever pretzel logic helps you cope better 🤷🏼‍♂️
