Everything else is just preference.&#xA;&#xA;An individual blocking, muting or filtering is an enforcing their property rights.&#xA;&#xA;A power group using coercion to unilaterally block, mute or filter is a violation of property rights. &#xA;&#xA;The mere act of saying &#34;I don&#39;t want to see this&#34; is not coercive, and thus not censorship.&#xA;&#xA;Now, for Bitcoin, if a network of people voluntarily decide to block, mute or filter (at the mempool, or consensus - it doesn&#39;t matter) that is also just an enforcement of property rights at a group level.&#xA;&#xA;No coercion involved, just an amalgam of individuals enforcing their property rights. &#xA;&#xA;#Bitcoin #Censorship #Philosophy&#xA;</html></oembed>
