Helping prevent racism and Nazi propaganda at scale protects actual people.

Censoring tiananmen square or the January 6th insurrection just helps consolidate power for authoritarians to make people's lives worse.

Putin accused Ukrainians of being nazis and racists as justification to invade them. The problem with censorship is your definition of a nazi is different than mine and different than Putin's, and at some end of the spectrum we're going to be enabling fascism by allowing censorship of almost any sort, since we'll never agree on what should be censored, and then it just gets abused.
