Hi everyone, Aidan from ChainSafe here.
The very limited discussion here on the impact of forcing censorship on a significant portion of the network is highly concerning. ChainSafe stands firmly alongside Sigma Prime in recognizing that this is an unnecessary action that does not contribute or align with the open values of the Ethereum community.
For some Node Operators being compliant is a necessity, and we fully support those operators in doing so. For those who have the choice, we urge you to consider the implications of censorship.
We would like to see further discourse on this topic, with the hope that it will lead to a healthy dialogue surrounding censorship at the protocol layer, and foster further options for validators.
