So much for decentralization... it raises certain doubts about this, because everyone can essentially be blocked, but I would like to believe that these measures are aimed at the addresses of attackers, and not ordinary law-abiding citizens.

What Tether has done seems to me to be a good preventive measure. If they suspect that these funds have been obtained through criminal or illegal actions, now they have the time they need to clarify what has happened and where so much money has come from. In this case, the victim is decentralization and the freedom of users, but those who commit criminal acts must also be prosecuted and imprisoned in part to clear the name of cryptocurrencies.
