I don't quite agree with your analogy. If Reddit closed down /r/trees, that would be censorship of people with non-mainstream opinions. There is no narrowing of discourse in society if creepshots gets shut down.
There are free speech issues at play here, but I think they have more to do with balancing people's need for privacy versus the right of people to make and share media of things that happen in public.
(That said, a lot of images in those communities are just stolen from other people's Facebook streams anyway, so it's also an issue of privacy.)
