I guess censorship as a result of what a client dev decided is hard to solve for if all devs decide to do such a thing.
But why would any dev start to do such a thing in the first place? Why would users addopt it secondly? And subsequently, if the clients are opensource it would be trivial to fork take it out. And lastly you'd think there would be clients not doing such things out there.
Lastly:
Hardcoded censorsing on a client level is just bad tech btw, terrible way of doing things.
Say you have really good reasons to want to make sure your users dont get into contact with someone; blocking that person hardcoded in your client wont help your users in all their other clients.
