I generally align with libertarian concepts of you should have the right to do anything as long as you don’t harm / damage / infringe on another person’s property
Unfortunately the reality is there’s a lot of sick fucks out there who will do crazy stuff at scale when incentives line up.
Never going to be able to stop it from happening completely and law enforcement should focus on actual crimes vs censorship but there should be at least some friction that prevents heinous stuff from going viral on the clear web. Not censorship of dissenting ideas but more so how about a person can’t live stream stuff like to pump a token:
  • school shootings
  • murder
  • child porn
  • torture Etc
Agreed control hungry people in the state like to use this excuse to capture everything but there appears to be a need to have some line and likely having it be at not showing murder is probably a good starting point.

That's a beautiful excuse for censorship.

  • The state is not the law. The law predates the state.
  • The state is a monopoly on violence.
  • Due to the monopoly on violence many capable parties are prevented from intervening in stopping things like this. Not to mention that the state can't seem to stop it or doesn't want to.
You point on libertarianism is a straw man argument. You are describing a very hard problem to solve that hasn't been solved even with a "strong man" in place.
