It's trying to say that just because the tech to put both the "Free Julian Assange" message and what some consider "SPAM" onto the blockchain, doesn't mean they are the same. The tech can be used for both good and bad, depending on your perspective.
Blocking or filtering everything out because a lot of SPAM exists hurts important messages or information that could use the same underlying tech. If you go a step beyond this and allow only some messages or information to exist but exclude others, how are you different than an authoritarian who censors messages that they deem appropriate?
