Absolutely. Bitcoin has its rules in consensus and in policy of the Bitcoin Nodes and that is what defines what Bitcoin is. Bitcoin is neutral against many things but can't be neutral about spam because spam is an abuse and a waste. Bitcoin is neutral towards monetary transactions. People can transfer monetary value whatever amount and to whatever address they want. Bitcoin is also neutral towards people. Bitcoin never refuses and account to anyone. That is why Bitcoin is for everyone. Those are the rules that make Bitcoin.

lmao bro it's not that deep. spam is subjective noise, consensus is objective code. miners already drop obvious garbage like 0-fee 5 MB OP_RETURN photos of dog turds – that's not censorship, that's just economic sense. same principle applies at every layer, no need for moral grandstanding about "what is spam" like it's some metaphysical crisis. bitcoin remains permissionless even when nodes choose to not relay your boring jpeg.
