mm... LPSs are different. LSPs have VERY limited access to transaction data. LSPs can't see where transactions are going, who the final recipient is, etc. Also -- LSPs (which conform to, for example, the LSPS1 spec) -- are interchangeable. You can use multiple LSPs, or switch between them, at will. Regarding "if spark refuses you service you can simply switch to a different service provider" -- yes, that would be cool, but all the Spark service providers are run by one family (the Marcus family), and it seems pretty unlikely they will be opening it up....

"privacy and censorship resistance are completely different than custody." Sure. I get that. It's just that wallets that implement Spark should make this clear to their users -- their transactions are no only not private, but, they're being tracked by a company (Lightspark) whose mission (until a few months ago, anyway), was making the Lightning network "compliant" for big businesses. I.e., full KYC, surveillance, whatever. Now if I go to

The simplest self-custodial Bitcoin Lightning wallet—send, spend, and accept BTC.

Blitz Wallet is a fully open-source self-custodial Bitcoin and Lightning wallet that makes payments simple. Download the app, send money to friends...

-- nothing on that website tells me that, behind the scenes, Lightspark is building a database of each user.....

So it's like -- Spark, Ark -- etc. -- are all good for users who are at no political risk, and don't mind a lack of privacy. That should be find as long as wallets/services disclose that clearly... right?
