Honest question about publishing data on the blockchain - let's say some paedo publishes a CP photo on the chain, and even if he gets caught and face the consequences, would LE ban the whole blockchain from the Internet? If enough time passed by, even miners would not be able to fork it or remove it off of the chain.
So at some point having a blockchain ledger on your PC means you have CP on your computer! Would that be basically end of blockchain as we know it?
I've been wondering about this as well. So far there does not appear to be an accepted route to fixing this in BTC, but there are proposals. I've heard (unreliably) that there are already transactions out there containing snippets of data which can be composed into something but I have nothing concrete.
+1. Also it gives LE a beautiful ground for a false flag attack. FBI could inject CP themselves and then come back and ask Congress/lawmakers to ban the blockhain altogether, since now it carries on banned/illegal material.
