The coming changes to Bitcoin Core would force node runners to host all kinds of garbage including images of child pornography and other useless or even illegal material. That is no exaggeration. Since it is against the law to host CP on your computer every node runner would become potential targets of the criminal justice system, through no fault of their own. Which is why I switched to Knots long ago.
That's the sort of FUD that has been used before, BUT intent truly matters. I don't believe that it would happen to be as simple as what the FUD suggests.
. Bitcoin 30 will allow child pornography to be hosted on the bitcoin network
with no way to prevent it. That is a fact. Images and videos of child porn will be as easy and simple
to upload as any monkey jpeg. Worse, once on the network it will be there forever with no way to take it down.
It doesn't have to be a pervert. Someone with malicious intent or simply hates bitcoin could do a lot of harm
by introducing such material to the network.
"Intent" only matters for going after individual node runners, and only applies to certain western countries
like the US. Intent is a legal concept that doesn't apply to most countries of the world. There doesn't need
to be "intent" for any government (including the US) to shut down or outlaw bitcoin in their country if they so chose to..
You don't need to prosecute any individual person to outlaw bitcoin itself.
But the context on what YOU'RE posting IS FUD. You're merely debating the theoretical. There's not even an actual case against Ethereum and Solana node runners, networks where they ENCOURAGE NFTs, networks where it's BEST to spread child pornography.
People in Bitcoin like to spread FUD though. I'm actually not sure why it isn't an issue in Ethereum, or other networks.
