There's no censorship.
You will be able to send value to anyone on the network, at any time, without asking permission. That's the censorship resistance that was promised.
Wizard .jpegs and worse were never part of the equation.

You can’t have permission to send value without permission to use blockspace however the protocol allows. Filtering by content instead of fees is subjective gatekeeping.
Today it’s wizard jpegs. Tomorrow it’s sanctioned addresses or capital controls. Every payment network eventually filters undesirable transactions.
Bitcoin’s promise was pay the fee, get the blockspace. High fees already filter inefficient uses. Adding human judgment breaks the neutrality that makes Bitcoin work. Either blockspace is neutral or it isn’t. There’s no middle ground.
You say that you can't have permission to send value without permission to use blockspace however the protocol allows. Has anyone disagreed with this? It seems to me that people have only been complaining about what blockspace use-cases the protocol allows, not about the fact that the wrong sort of people have permission to send value.
