Wasn't the whole point of getting rid of Namecoin was to not have to worry
about blacklisting things anymore?

Blacklisting is a bad idea, whether it be for ransomware, porn, adblocking,
politics, religion, or anything else. Even ISPs don't do that, and can't do
that in jurisdictions where there's net neutrality.

Policing the world is usually a really bad idea.
I said it would surely be highly controversial. To be clear, I personally do not support requiring blacklists of any type under any circumstances and *do* support forbidding public T2 servers from using blacklists, with an exception for malware.
