The platform is censorship resistant. Individual instances are not. If you upload something to a specific instance, you are at the mercy of the instance owner. But you can upload to other more "open-minded" instances or host your own. Moderation is necessary, otherwise you'll attract "undesirables" that will most likely scare away regular users.
