Ethereum (ETH) co-founder Vitalik Buterin tweeted on October 17 that a single validator should be allowed to censor blocks in special cases.
“Be patient,” I say. Truncation, leaking, and socially-adjusted things should only be considered for massively reorganizing other people’s blocks, and making the wrong choices about what to put in your own should not be
Other answers risk turning the ETH community into a moral police force

Buterin made the statement in response to a hypothetical scenario in which a single validator of Sengoku refused to process a block because it contained a transaction donating funds to the Sengoku military. .
According to Buterin, censorship should be tolerated according to the level of violation. He added that other opinions could become the moral police of the ETH community.
Not having an active curating validator is not a goal at all. Rather, it is a question of what level of response is appropriate for what level of violation.

Buterin continued, “Slashing, leaking, or socially adjusting something should only be considered to massively reorganize other people’s blocks, and not your own.” You shouldn’t make the wrong choice about what to put in your stuff.”
However, not everyone agrees with this point of view.bart claimed If the system tolerates network-level censorship for good reason, it can tolerate it for whatever reason, and it should reduce or demote validators.
Reduce or otherwise discourage. If the system tolerates network-level censorship for “really good” reasons, then it tolerates censorship for whatever reason.

Gnosis founder Martin Keppelmann agreed In this case, that censorship should be tolerated. But he’s now concerned about his MEV-boost censorship, which makes him 52% of all blocks.
For the record, in this particular poll, I also vote for “acceptable.” However, in hindsight the rapid rollout of MEV Boost was a mistake and should be done more diligently to prevent a situation where one entity’s content curation currently affects his 52% of all blocks. did.

In his view, the rapid rollout of MEV Boost was a mistake and should have been done more diligently.Since the merge, MEV Boost relays have more representation on Ethereum as validators outsource block generation. I now have a person. As a centralized organization, they must comply with compliance recommendations of the US Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC).
On the other hand, the crypto community Twitter poll by latetot.eth47.4% of the 1,010 votes agreed that single validators should be allowed, and 41.4% said they should be cut down for censorship. 11.2% of voters believe that solo validators should voluntarily terminate.
At the time of writing, 53% of ETH blocks generated in the last 24 hours were OFAC compliant. 50% of the blocks were OFAC compliant at the 7-day metric. data From mevwatch.
