I think the point here is "content that they deemed illegal". There is one authority that mediates between the needs and ideologies of all participants in society, and that's the state. The state sets boundaries- publicly discussed, contracted, declared and approved- so that everyone is entirely free to do whatever they please inside those boundaries.

The case where private companies in an oligo or monopolistic environment decide what to censor and what to promote is entirely different.

Shouldn’t it be “content that they deemed illegal”
