Okay, perhaps one of several reasons why filters may be ineffective is that they cannot be changed fast enough. And, dependance on constant updates is a potential attack vector. It is still a stretch to describe the position as wanting static filters. And automatic updates by a trusted party would be crazy. Nobody of any note is talking about that or changing consensus - another strawman.
The meta point is that misrepresenting the other side’s arguments (i.e. straw manning) is not an effective strategy for persuading informed fence sitters. That is true even when you are right about the specific issue at hand.
