Clarifications about the ability to blacklist addresses by the Harmony team

rding to the explanation every transaction passes through this function to see if it’s blacklisted. If it is, it will not processed. This essentially freezes the wallet in a similar way as a bank can freeze your account.

Can we get clarifications on the team of who has the ability to trigger this function?

What are the thoughts of the the community over the fact that the Harmony team maybe able to freeze their wallet funds at any given moment?

Try to keep this civil since this was a hot theme just a day ago.
Give your opinions in a concise way and if anyone of the team could comment on this I would appreciate it very much.

Thank you!

the feature is available but never used, please see this thread : HIP-17: Blacklist
