@fromjason We will probably be debating this for years… there's no clear answer since it's not a 0-1 matter, but rather shades of gray.
Right now things are pretty centralized on the relay and AppView level, since there are no alternatives. So if they wanted to e.g. censor someone unfairly (i.e. not an obvious spammer etc.), they could. Would they? I believe not, but that's my opinion.
