Say someone deploys Tornado Cash to Solana, NK uses Sol-Tornado to anonymize recently stolen SOL, U.S. Treasury adds these SOL addresses to OFAC sanction list, and notifies major SOL validators, along with Solana Foundation, and Jito. What's next - is Solana now censored? Ok, now same question for L2s...take Arbitrum. Someone deploys Tornado to Arbitrum, NK uses it to anonymize recently stolen ETH, U.S. Treasury adds ETH addresses to OFAC sanction list, and notifies Arbitrum Foundation & Offchain Labs who runs the sequencer. Is Arbitrum now censored? Of course, all this has already basically happen on Ethereum and Ethereum has currently maintained strong censorship resistance...but could Solana...could today's L2s?

Doesn't Arbitrum support forced inclusion from the L1? If so it should inherit mainnet's censorship resistance.

People might be a little wary to use Tornado, even if it becomes present on other chains. Yet without a sufficient number of users, the privacy benefits are limited. That said: it's worth thinking carefully about censorship resistance... thanks for bringing this to our attention!

like someone said earlier, when did we get the stupid idea that a little cop should be inside every tool and system? extend this logic to smtp and it's clearly just government overreach.

Yes but the censorship happens so fast…and everything else is just a meme
