first point can be solved by serving the delete request instead proving that the spammer deleted their note secondly, you can have access control lists on a relay that bypass that and show the event itself AND the delete event again, another thing that paid relays can solve yeah, it really was given the right number, fuck censorship

Truth, but ACLs mean signing up for a list on multiple other peoples relays. Would prefer if it were in the protocol. As it stands I'd much rather the relay just issued a 1984 on the note and let clients decide what to do about it. Actually deleting spammy notes silently is the real creepy 1984 behavior. I get it that its sometimes required by law for certain content (criticising the King for siamstr), but that's why more relays need to be on Tor...
