You don't, but then again regular browsing does not automatically download the illegal content, start seeding it and announce to the world that you have it on your computer. Big difference.
Also since IPFS deals with content hashes, you not only could and should, you absolutely must ensure any content you download via IPFS does not contain known instances of illegal content.

How is this in any way relevant?
Freenet provides anonymity, IPFS does not. Again, big difference.
