If they could, then they wouldn't need help.from the twister team. The requested feature is a *refusal to relay*, it has no bearing on other nodes. If this were useful for an *attack* then it'd be trivial to code a fake node to do just that: connect and not relay.
In P2P unless you trust a node, you never trust a node. So anyone trusting a set of nodes to tell them the whole story will have a bad day. If ye want child porn in a world where non-monsters can choose not to relay it, you'd better keep hunting for nodes willing to share child porn with you. The tragwdy of the commons is that in the absence of mechanisms for a community to protect it, a common resource usually ends up abused. This is a democratic and anarchic way to protect the commons of free speech and thought from abuse before it becomes known as just yet-another-refuge-for-cp.
