Don't you think the custodial nature of lighting network opens it up to the same type of censorship we're seeing with bank transactions in Canada? What's stopping governments from blacklisting wallets and pressuring LN nodes from transacting with them?

Good luck shutting down or controlling thousands of nodes on the Tor network.

Don't see how any government could reasonably pressure enough nodes in that way, particularly ones that are in other jurisdictions.
