What does this mean and compromised in which sense?

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.

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