You've completely missed the entire point.

The network is being eroded by large OP_RETURN payloads. I am not arguing that large OP_RETURN payloads should be allowed, nor am I arguing that removing large OP_RETURN payloads censors monetary transactions.

I am arguing that removing them with a consensus policy change has negative consequences.

Lawmakers don’t need new statutes; they can simply point to “Bitcoin already excludes Y”, and press for Z (e.g., “exclude sanctioned payload types”, “restrict non-KYC script paths”). You’ve demonstrated precedent and capability.

You are basically incapable to understand that a small group of developers being able to change Bitcoin's consensus rules (global law) has pros and cons and is not all positive.

I'm pretty sure I put "censorship" in quotes in the article most times. Probably not every time - it's a long article (which you most likely haven't read but decided to argue).
