100k byte, raw CSAM is still going to end up on your hard drive whether you update on not. Valid transactions.

Propagation path remains scarce if only a few nodes and miners run v30/libre relay nodes. It matters no matter how much you guys push this narrative.
Raw bytes of data (probably incl CSAM) are already on your hard drive, because people have been putting these into witness for years as inscriptions, since these bytes are actually discounted in terms of fees.

You're missing the technical difference in visibility.
Now: Arbitrary data is buried in witness fields, requiring special software to decode and view.
With 4MB OP_RETURN: The data sits plainly in a standard output. Any node parsing the chain can see it without special explorers.
It’s the difference between data being technically present versus being unavoidably visible.
And that's a huge difference. Don't sugarcoat it.
True, but alteast I won't be choosing to relay it and share with others
