The Monero Research Lab (MRL) has decided to recommend that all Monero node operators enable a ban list

- Download the ban list and:
./monerod --ban-list <file-path-to-ban-list>

yes the overall transaction is safe but the individual node sending that transaction/block is recorded with the IP logged. Mass collection with a large spy network would easily enable a semi reliable initiator logging system that could be used later for any purpose. You could connect to a public node to hide and not send from personal node but then again the public node itself could be a spy node too. Its all about collecting general metadata for use with other data to be cross examined when the time is needed.
