Why? Are you suggesting laws don't apply to Bitcoin node operators? Unfortunately I live in a jurisdiction where using "code is law" as a defense in court probably won't work. By all means, legal tender and other unjust laws should be ignored or circumvened using bitcoin, but all of them? Even the abhorrent stuff we're talking about? That's insane. Bitcoin censorship resistance isn't some magic wand that eliminates morality. What is moral? Each individual node operator must decide that for themselves.

you're already picking and choosing which laws to respect ("unjust laws"). it's fine if you want to take a position about which information sharing activities you support or oppose, but don't try to lean on the law to do so. it's inconsistent. "code is law" won't work as a defense for you violating the "unjust legal tender laws" either. you can just say "i don't like people doing X, i believe they should stop". you said yourself that each individual decides what is moral. it sort of just ends there.. adding 'law' into it doesn't move the needle, just confuses the argument.
