I am only commenting on this in the context of community standards and user generated content and should not be extrapolated to all content in all other contexts.

Sorry, I meant spam. If anyone can post a comment, and only "illegal" comments can be removed, that would surely allow a lot of email-style spam.

That is a fair question/comment. In my original comment "Limit use of automated content moderation only for easy to solve cases like child pornography." . It is reasonable to extent that list beyond just child pornography. I did not intend to give impression than this list is exhaustive.

In case of spam - Emails do show you spam emails, just hide them behind a spam folder. So instead of outright removal, it is possible to use similar techniques. And let users decide whether they ever want to see spam comments.
