> Would you then call Zoom out as somehow evil for shutting down accounts that broadcast child porn live?
Yes? Obviously? They should report the account-holder to the police - or, if the police refuse to do their jobs, to armed vigilantees - for arrest and prosecution (repectively lynching); if such people want to broadcast video evidence of their crimes, lets make sure to deliver their Darwin award ASAP.
> So then it's impossible to hold a "no censorship at all" position, at least not without being a hypocrite.
I'm a hypocrite about plenty of things, but this isn't one of them.
Edit: to be a bit more explicit, laws against posession (rather than production) of child sexual abuse material are a mechanism to protect child molestors by making it dangerous to posess evidence of their crimes. (And also a mechanism to attack fine upstanding file-sharing websites by uploading such material and then reporting them to the FBI or equivalent.)
