Im also no in favor of censorship but I care about if they accept to have child pornography. For me is not aceptable at all and not only because I have a little kid myself... Im against it and I do not think have to do with censorship as you say. About the hypocrisy of Facebook and all the others companies, it is well know.

If an entity is to keep child porn or any other kind of content off their network they need to monitor what people post. In order to monitor what people post they need to compromise users privacy. Ergo censorship of content of any kind = compromising user privacy. The very notion that it is the network's place to decide what is posted on the network undermines user privacy.
I agree Facebook totally compromises user privacy to begin with but that doesn't change the concept of censorship. You're quite right that there's very little to no privacy on Facebook which is why I find it incredibly stupid for anyone to be running a child porn trading ring there. But if Facebook is going through people's secret groups and monitoring the content of them and moderating them then that's still an invasion of privacy.
How does it invade privacy to take photos of a server? Well let me ask you, if you got yourself a storage locker somewhere and stored a photo album in it would you consider it an invasion of privacy for someone to open up your locker and start taking pictures out of your album they didn't like? The data doesn't belong to Facebook but rather to the users of Facebook. Granted it could be argued that users agree to this invasion of privacy when they use Facebook but it's STILL an invasion of privacy. I'm not arguing that Facebook is somehow known for respecting privacy, it isn't. I'm arguing that censorship inherently results in compromising privacy and security for all.
How compromise your privacy to take out photos from a server? And we all know that just been on Facebook is the same as no user privacy at all from part of the company. We are not talking about Steemit here.
