> Child porn is the most obvious example of an exception to both. We can all agree that we don't want to see that and don't want to host it on our platforms.

I wouldn't be surprised if some site like 8chan was happy to completely remove moderation/filtering if the federal penalties for unknowingly distributing CP were removed.

Basically, "look at 8chan! Even they restrict CP, so everyone supports moderation!" doesn't actually follow, since 8chan is legally required to restrict CP under federal law, unknowing or not.

CP isn't the only problem of theirs. Revenge porn (or leaked celeb pics) are just as vulnerable to lawsuit.
