My guess is that because blockchain is decentralized, in theory nobody could censor or block it, because nobody “controls” the blockchain. Compared with any modern social media site which is mutable and controlled by an organization who gets to police content Edit: a good example of this is that folks have put malicious content into the various blockchains (ascii images of child harm material, or strings of data that trigger antivirus). You can’t stop it being added, and once it’s there you cannot remove it.

> You can’t stop it being added It really depends what you mean by “you”, of course I can't, but miners can since they are the one actively adding stuff to the chain. In fact, they may even be legally responsible for what they add to a blockchain (IANAL though), and since miners are physical entities most of whom have a publicly known IP address, it may even be realistically enforceable.
