The Bitcoin community is embroiled in a heated debate over the upcoming Bitcoin Core v30 upgrade, with concerns about its potential to facilitate the distribution of child sexual abuse materials (CSAM). Developer Luke Dashjr has voiced strong opposition, arguing that running the new version could actively support and distribute such content, posing a significant risk to the network.
In contrast, pro-Core v30 advocate Jimmy Song contends that node operators are not liable, as their role is limited to verifying transactions without displaying or distributing content. Dashjr warns that widespread adoption of the upgrade could 'kill Bitcoin' due to the ease of accessing embedded content. This controversy underscores ongoing concerns about data storage on the blockchain and its potential misuse beyond financial transactions.
