According to U.Today, the Bitcoin community is divided over the upcoming Bitcoin Core v30 upgrade, with concerns raised about its potential to facilitate the distribution of child sexual abuse materials (CSAM). Prominent developer Luke Dashjr argues that running Core v30 would actively support and distribute such content, while pro-Core v30 advocate Jimmy Song claims node operators are not liable as they only verify transactions and do not display or distribute the content. Dashjr warns that the upgrade could 'kill Bitcoin' if widely adopted, citing the ease of accessing embedded content. The debate highlights long-standing concerns about data storage on the blockchain and the potential for misuse beyond financial transactions.
