Okay, I found an updated version of their privacy policy where they mention "coin filtering"
Won't even call it for what it is - censorship. Pathetic.

The paragraphs above the ones you've quoted are quite revealing too. Things that Wasabi will censor you for include anything infringing on copyright laws, anything related to scams, and anything sexual. Who gets to decide on that? We don't know, because again they hide behind the words "contracted third party" instead of being honest and naming a specific blockchain analysis firm. CSW has copyrighted the whitepaper in some jurisdictions. Will Wasabi censor me if I try to pay for my hosting of the whitepaper? Some people think bitcoin is a scam and some banks stop people from buying bitcoin. Now Wasabi is doing the same thing to bitcoin users? And regardless of your personal views on porn, it is perfectly legal in most jurisdictions and yet still Wasabi are censoring it. What about if I want to buy some lingerie for Foxpup my wife? Is that censored too? How long before other perfectly legal things like gambling show up on that list too?

And of course all this is buried in legal documents that 99% of users won't read. The Privacy Policy link on their main page helpfully leads to a 404. And still absolutely no mention anywhere on their main site, but plenty of blatant false and contradictory statements such as:

The wallet uses WabiSabi, an anonymous credential scheme that was designed to enable more accessible and efficient coinjoins.
So accessible that we prevent people form accessing it. Roll Eyes
