Won't relay based networking if adopted at scale enable better censorship and taking like phone networks?

Relays can't observe the contents of traffic per the design, but if censorship was possible and meaningful based on the tuples of the paired connection endpoints, I guess? The public number0 relays are (honor-system) running the open source relay code that can be inspected for such behavior.

With the relay daemon being self-hostable and OSS any use-case that needs to be more censorship-resistant than that has the option to run their own relays as needed.
