FYI the issue is that Luke-Jr wants to include code which can censor stuff like
SatoshiDice transactions because he thinks they are denial of service:
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=524512
While everyone is jumping on the neutrality Bitcoin should have, you're
forgetting that there are also *legal* implications:
The *technical ability'* to filter certain types of network traffic can cause you
to be legally liable to *USE* it to filter illegal stuff.
So even if the filter code is disabled by default, it can put Bitcoin users in
legal danger: Law enforcement can try to force them to use it.
This for sure depends on the country you are living in, but in general I think
it can be agreed that it will be a lot easier to defend a "my node relays
everything uncensored" policy against law enforcement if you wouldn't even
have the technical ability to filter stuff because the code just cannot do it
anyway.
So please do not even include this code as disabled, and if possible do not
even write or publish it :)
Also, as I don't have a Gentoo bugtracker account, can someone please add this
comment there?
Thanks & Gretings,
