Censorship (in MEV context)

In the context of MEV, censorship is the process of manipulating blocks to exclude specific transactions for a number of blocks, often to maintain an arbitrage opportunity or make a specific purchase before another user. MEV searchers and blockchain security researchers frequently use this term. To excel in understanding and mitigating censorship, one should have a deep knowledge of blockchain consensus mechanisms, understand miner incentives, and be familiar with techniques for detecting and preventing transaction censorship.
