I want to agree with that and at first glance, yes, given sexual content between disparate groups, there's a line, but at that point we've started with a line between the example groups in the first place.

More than that, pornography was famously said to be difficult to define "but I know it when I see it" by Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart.

YouTube creators very recently have faced disabled comments and demonitization if YouTube determined that a video was "made for kids" with a list of factors creators should consider which are far from clear-cut.

reddit has banned subreddits for "a violation of Reddit’s content policy against sexual or suggestive content involving minors or someone who appears to be a minor" or similar, while something similar from a popular television show would get a pass elsewhere on the site.

edit: point is, child sexual abuse material and terrorism are where censorship starts. If it proceeds further it's often because the initial lines just... needed clarification... that's basically what reddit has said.
