Full censorship isn't possible unless a miner has a majority of hashing power; up until this point, miners will include valid transactions into blocks which get 'censored' by the minority of hashing power.

That's not true. Miners right now can choose to publish zero transactions in a block or they can cherry pick some transactions and not others. My goal is to ensure that nobody can ever have a tx censored that others do not want censored.

Choosing to publish zero transactions is not rational behaviour because a miner doing so loses out on collected fees to the next miner, the same is true of cherry picking individual transactions; even if one miner does this, the next guy has no reason to do so.
