Where I land: I won’t filter because I believe Bitcoin’s neutrality, treating all valid, fee paying transactions equally, is itself a moral stance worth defending. Not because porn or spam is good, but because the moment we accept “immoral transaction filtering” as legitimate, we’ve created the precedent for undesirable transaction filtering.
Your approach doesn’t threaten Bitcoin. Normalizing filtering as standard practice does. As long as it stays “node operators can choose” versus “this is what Bitcoin should enforce,” we’re on the same team fighting for different expressions of the same principle. Individual sovereignty.
