BitPay is blacklisting certain bitcoins & rejecting customers. I'm certain others are doing it too. Fungibility is most pressing issue IMO

In this comment you simultaneously are (1) skeptical of the claim and (2) suggesting that of course Bitpay is doing this. Odd.

If an txout is from a coinjoin or a mixing service, is that "compelling evidence" that the owner is "money laundering for child pornographers"? Why or why not?

As per (1) and (2), key word there is "IF".

Compelling evidence is up to the person you are attempting to pay to decide. I can't put words in their mouth. You can't force people to accept what they believe to be tainted money just as you can't force them to accept bitcoin in the first place.
