You are right, but I think weighting too much on the extreme.
Inciting violence or holocaust denying is outside the spectrum of what can be accepted on any moderation platform (outside of the sheer legal issues, also for the reasons you are citing). Some people want those kind of speeches represented as well, but it just won’t happen, at least not on any platform with public and international exposure.
With anything illegal off the table, sthe debate is more on how to deal with things ranging from flat earthers, hate on fat, furries, sex, anti-capitalism, hyper-capitalism, bigotry, grifting, crypto bros etc
In that “somewhat legal but possibily be deeply disturbing or unwelcoming from some” fringe, advertisers will also gain from being allowed to filter on what moderation strategies people are choosing. Basically it gives them ways to dictate specific rules for their content (e.g a diet product could be fine being advertised next to sex and fat-hate but want nothing to do with crypto-bros, etc.)
