Sybil attack? #292

@D4nte

Description

@D4nte

Considering https://github.com/vacp2p/specs/blob/fb198dc0e46c9ada1d4ddc8a73f431dd3ab978fa/specs/waku/v2/waku-relay.md#L57

Which means that only attackers that follow the protocol are considered.
If I understand correctly, it means that we do not take in account attackers that are performing a Sybil attack by not relaying messages to other peers.

If Bob, creates enough nodes for Alice to only be connected to Bob nodes then Bob could simply censor Alice by not relaying any of the messages (which is not as per the protocol).

Is there any reason why this scenario is excluded? Am I missing something?
