 You can think? Isn‘t that a bit too much freedom for an individual? A person that thinks could decide to commit all kinds of crime. That is not something that I will support!!! 
 Apparently all you support is pedos. Bear in mind your arguments so far have been that you don't think censoring illegal content is a good thing and then that you think pedos should just be allowed access to child sexual assault material. To me it sounds like you're just trying to protect your own sick interests at this point.

And to be clear, people don't have to subscribe to free speech absolutism to be free. We choose to live in societies and we agree to abide by common rules. In the same way you can't bash someone head in with a brick without repercussions, there are some things you can't spread without repercussions.

The problem is that you free speech absolutist types take a broad concept of being able to say something out loud then you try to apply that to publishing and data transmission, things it was never designed to apply to, and you apply it to any company rather than just the government which is what free speech laws apply to. 

I'll make it clear. Free speech does not include the right to distribute child sexual assault material. If you think it does then you are a pedo and should hand yourself and your computer into the authorities. 
 what the fuck do you smoke? 
 🤣 Reality really upsets you, huh? 
 You do understand that the hosting of images or videos is not possible with nostr, right? 
 Good luck in court with that one. "Nostr services only distribute the child sexual assault material, technically the original copy is stored on another service".

It's not really hard to understand. Anything you see on a social media platform is a liability for that platform. If as a platform they shrug and say "not my problem, we don't moderate content" then they're gonna get crucified in court. 
 I am not a lawyer and I don't run a public relay. I also block anything I don't like client side. So, I don't personally have to bother with any of that. Feel free to comment on the liability of any service provider in regards to the facilitation and/or the distribution of illegal material if you are an expert. This would be useful for any public relay operators that read your messages. 
 Understood but I think you'll still be affected as it's an existential problem, the same problem that destroys all of the zero-censorship platforms in the end. The platform devolves into only the worst elements.

The problem is with the absolutist idea of allowing anything and everything. Most normal people don't want that so it's impossible to gain broad appeal without some level of censorship.
