CP are not words, that is a completely different area. Here, too, it is questionable whether this can be regulated by the state at all. But of course there is a need for investigative authorities who at least try to look into it. But do we necessarily need preventive censorship and breaking up E2E communication on WhatsApp? These are the ideas for regulating such things.

There is no need to regulate legal pornography.

With terrorism, e.g. propaganda, it is difficult. But in the end, the idea of freedom of information prevails. Of course, platforms should have the ability to regulate violent content (e.g. ISIS beheading videos), but we shouldn't give the state the ability to regulate that, because the definition of terrorism can be expanded very quickly if necessary.
