I certainly don't want to tell people who they are allowed to mute.

But if the entire purpose of the protocol is to resist censorship, and muting (a method of censorship) is opaque, then it's impossible to even know if abuse is occurring.

If mutes are public (as they should be), then at least if batch muting gets weaponized it can be exposed.

Without transparency, you get a shadowban, of an unknown extent. The exact same thing the protocol was created to deter.
