They’re pointing out a proposal that some nodes can block pins, resulting in censorship
and that censorship at all would compromise the point of IPFS
although I disagree with both of those takes. Nodes always had discretion in IPFS, just pick a different node or pin something yourself which has pretty much always been required. Everyone can route to your pinned files while pinned.
What does this mean and compromised in which sense?

Ah! Ok, when I read compromised I thought it was a proposal that introduced a security vulnerability to the tech. Thanks!
