Nazism isn't illegal everywhere (I concede you may have been referring to other illegal things), so it could be locally legal. It's still wrong and the fact that everyone thinks of these uses first is problematic both because censorship resistance can be benign and because apparently such folks flock to solutions that claim these things.
Sadly that tends to really muddle the waters and it becomes increasingly difficult to see the distinction between groups that opportunistically use this and the (perhaps) misguided folks that work so hard to give them a platform.
