Regarding the murderer/pedo analogy:
If I had a restaurant it is not my duty to not service them because the restaurant as a company is not responsible for apprehending these people, that's the police's responsibility!
Let's put this in slightly less extreme terms:
If there is a law in some country forbidding LGBT+ activity (or maybe black people if this was still 1950), and one of them comes to my restaurant, it is not my obligation to deny them service because the restaurant is not the law enforcement. The restaurant is responsible only for providing their customers with food & drink, and nothing else.
So now that we have gotten that out of the way, let us get to the crux of the issue.
The entire debacle of zkSNACKs blacklisting certain UTXO inputs from their co-ordinater is apparently due to pressue put on them (by who, specifically?) to stop serving what they call "suspect crimilals".
This particular term, these two words, are so loaded that it is almost impossible to understand exactly who is being blocked, which is imparative if somebody wanted to provide some real security.
- It could refer to the US government's No-Fly list.
- It could refer to the CIA's own "criminal and suspect criminal" list.
- It could also refer to some hastily drawn up notes in some governor or chain analysis chairman's office which violently hate some partcular group of people that they want to classify them as criminals [example: Texas state government vs. women who want abortion => they are magically criminals].
The word "criminal" is thrown about by everyone from protestors to high cabinet officials to news reporters & guest commentators to your 70-year-old grandpa, even, who all have different notions about who represent criminals.
That's why you see such strange things as people welcoming the Taliban to afghanistan, or happily welcoming suppressions to non-binaries/vaccines/journalists/bitcoin. Because their definition of criminals is wildly different from our own. In some cases, the contrast between them is even a color-inversion.
So that is why that you should not trust people's definitions of the word "criminal" apart from an official government statement (and intelligence agencies who are too cowardly to confirm official statements).
The community is still not very happy that you have created a UTXO blacklist, even if it came from institutional pressure and its not implemented yet. You should not be buckling down to such pressure and bending to people's own definition of "criminals". We also understand that you are not the perpretrator of such change - it came from your sponsor.
But since you have already decided which path to take, you need to follow it straightly, so that Wasabi can stay in one piece when it reaches the other side. You are at the point of no return, and there is no going back.
