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.

This would provide governments with a legal justification to shut down bitcoin completely or at least outlaw it in their respective country.  

This is not true. Neither developers nor other users would be responsible for CP on bitcoin. It is the same with freenet and other p2p networks.
