I am not convinced.

The mere consideration of such a change where a small group are given any such power should be absolutely and utterly rejected by anyone interested in keeping bitcoin trustless and uncensorable.

There is a such an obvious slippery slope from supposedly trusted individuals removing illegal material to outright censorship of transactions they don't like.

And then there is the ocean lawyer contacting mining pools, which Adam Back corroborates https://x.com/adam3us/status/1971330468961542213

Few people seem to be discussing that part which is arguably worse...

I think the whistleblower was right to leak these messages and reveal what is obviously an attack on bitcoin.
