F2Pool Filters Transactions Related to OFAC Sanctioned Addresses Is Bitcoins AntiCensorship Feature Just a Slogan

Bitcoin developer 0xB10C pointed out in an article released this week that his Bitcoin mining pool monitoring tool, miningpool-observer, detected 6 transactions involving OFAC (Office of Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Department of the Treasury) sanctioned addresses that have not been confirmed in the past few weeks. In order to investigate whether these transactions were intentionally filtered out by miners or if there were other reasons causing these transactions to be lost, 0xB10C conducted a series of in-depth studies.
