This would encourage more surveillance and censorship. You don't want it.

Exactly. CP and terrorism are classic wedge issues used to crack down on free speech. (More recently we also got "hate" and "misinformation".) So as much as it'd be fun to see reddit admins squirm, they'd only react by locking down the site even more, and such a precedent would be even worse for small startups who don't have the resources for that kind of censorship.
