The problem is that bad/unpleasant content also drives people away. And the right have, in many places, made a "f--- your feelings" viewpoint part of their platform.
Free speech rules are not without limitations. Obscenity like gore can be removed without violating free speech. Illegal things like calling for the death of a person can also be removed.
In terms of "f--- your feelings" in many cases that's an acceptable position sometimes.
