Nextdoor seems to be whatever the local moderators make of it. Mine will censor political views (mostly from the right). They will also censor posts related to breaking of unpopular laws (such as those related to pet ownership responsibilities like leashes and waste removal).

I doubt that Nextdoor corporate has any oversight into the performance of the local mods, and there's no mechanism in place to report such abuse. Nextdoor is far less open than any newspaper, which will usually at least have an editorial page.

Wait, what? Pet ownership responsibilities like leashes and waste removal are "unpopular laws"?

They likely meant a large part of the society thinks those laws shouldn't apply to them.
