The people who use the internet are a society. That society was asked to
vote whether or not it wanted have this kind of hate literature. The
majority of the society as a body decided no. This is not censorship.
I think that when it comes to hate literature that it is a very nice
thing to discuss the philosophy of protection of an individuals right to
chose what they are exposed to. And it is very nice to talk about it in
the abstract.
Problem comes when you are the object of that literature, and that you
are perceived as something sub human without any rights of existence.
Hate literature, has effects. Historically, and currently. It has helped
to kill, historically and currently. Why support it? 
We can recognize hate literature.
It is not censorship to say I don't want that in my "society".  
Mark
