The Bitcoin community is embroiled in a heated debate over the BIP-444 proposal, which suggests a temporary one-year soft fork to limit OP_RETURN to 83 bytes and embedded data in other scripts to 34 bytes. This measure aims to mitigate the risks of spam transactions and illegal content following the removal of data limits in Bitcoin Core v30. Proponents argue that unrestricted data uploads could expose node operators to legal liabilities and undermine Bitcoin's decentralized model. However, opponents claim this move constitutes protocol-level content censorship, contradicting Bitcoin's permissionless ethos and lacking a clear definition of "illegal content."
