I would clarify that Wasabi were not pressured or harassed in to implementing blacklists. There were no regulations at the time which forced them to do so, and currently regulations such as the FinCEN one are still in a proposal stage and not law. Wasabi preemptively started censoring their users in an attempt to cover their own backs.

Just to be clear, there is no regulation that would compel this, and I don’t think that there would be anytime soon

Although as we've just seen with Swan telling people not to use Wasabi, their preemptive censorship didn't actually achieve anything.
