Yup, words and information shouldn't be censored really. That doesn't give someone the right to simply yell at you though. You have the right to the safety of your personal space if you did no wrong to another. Threats are also not to be taken lightly. But behavior is different from words, and more so than information. People who live together can agree on certain behavior, and disallow other behavior. Nudity, for example, is not accepted by most. A banned, censored behavior. Some nude beaches have their own rules as well. Some nude places require that everyone be nude, or else you can't go. 

Different communities create different rules. Preventing certain behavior, like nudity, or criminal acts like theft, murder, etc., is not a wrong thing to do.  Amish communities operate differently than ours, they have different behavior and norms. Steemit can set its own standards as well, as a community.

That's where the argument against porn comes from. It's behavior in the community we allow or don't. It's not information, it's not words. It's porn crap. I argue we shouldn't have it. But it's not like I decide. I'm allowed to say I don't want that shit here though :)
