The internet really is an incredible cesspool. It would be interesting to see how the public reacted if YouTube and Facebook turned off their content moderation for a week. It would make the goatse meme look like a Sunday school picnic.

Yes, but really, humanity is the incredible cesspool. Facebook is just mirror.

The interesting thing is that instead of trying to prosecute the criminals behind this content we would rather just censor it so we can pretend it doesn't exist.

I disagree. 99% of us are good people. The cesspool loves a stage/soapbox though.
