I think the knots people have been whipped up into a moral panic about CSAM on the chain, and there is enough topical overlap here for it to spiral into a towering Jesus frenzy crusade that all of Core is compromised.

They are going to get miles and miles out of this at the social layer, but in the end, it all comes down to what software the economic nodes run. The most I think they are going to accomplish is being a non-insignificant psychogical drain and time suck on the core devs.

I must admit. I'm WAY out of my depth here. I don't code, I have a very basic, rudimentary understanding of what's going on. I'm #TeamKnots.
Peter Todd already proved you can get around the filters, at least the last time I checked in. There will always be circumvention methods. If you want a guarantee that CSAM will never be on a chain, then you will have an unprecedented, centralized governance structure retroactively acting as a node morality police.
CSAM is possible, but it will be once BIP110 lifts after a year and nobody made any progress, because these retards have escalated their rhetoric and vitriol.

Peter Todd is a CIA agent. Satoshi fucked off as soon as Gavin did his presentation to Langley; fuck off🤷🏻‍♂️.
It's possible. With or without 110. The only thing 110 does is make it non-contiguous, while ensuring it also has to bloat the UTXO set. But it's still accessible to those who know to look for it.
