Understanding Censorship resistance in POW

With the upcoming transition of another unnamed network to Proof of Stake there has been a lot of discussion around transaction censorship.

Can someone help me with a description of what the risks are within Proof of Work with regards to censorship? What are the key mechanisms that will keep censorship at bay if top miners and pools decide to start censoring transactions? Is it a cut and dry 50% of miners must be publishing all blocks? Or if 90% of the blocks are coming out censored does it fall to user nodes to continue validating those transactions?

Comments and resources appreciated. Thanks!

LOL, even meta discussions where you can expose rBitcoin ends up nerfed; hilarious.

Recommended bitcoin wallet for iOS?

I'm looking for a wallet that is bitcoin only and has privacy features like changing addresses and select custom UTXOs to spend. Integrated TOR would also be appreciated.

Should I make my project on Bitcoin?

So I have a school project which is called an EPQ(Extended Project Qualification) is, to put it simply, a BIG independent project for which you’ll earn a qualification. I will have to write a 5000 word paper. A very long piece of paperwork about my research and how I approached it. I will also have to make a presentation of around 30 to 40 minute. I’v know about crypto for a while but I never really understood what it was on a fundamental level, so I thought about “what is Bitcoin” as a topic to understand everything.
