On the contrary. In most cases, it is imperative that illegal speech remain on online platforms. It's bad enough that governments censor criticism, alternative viewpoints (including ones we may abhor), and leaked information using the police, the judicial and prison systems, and their close ties with large media companies.

* Well-liked, illegal speech
* Disliked illegal speech
* Well-liked, legal speech
* Disliked legal speech
It seems like you're assuming the law, everywhere, is just and fair and should be not just followed but upheld.
