The parent is a highly misinformative comment. Three things are true here 1) If you dig into the details, the actual censorship is so weak in practice that calling it "censored ethereum blocks" is mostly false. 2) There are great reasons to think that the weak form of censorship this does in fact comprise is an inherently temporary problem with ethereum. And pretty much no good reasons to think it'll end up being a long-term state of affairs. 3) Nobody informed was surprised by this. It became an outcome whose high likelihood became generally known within industry shortly after the tornado contracts were added to the OFAC sanctions list. source: I'm a low-grade ethereum insider.
