That would result in 90% of user generated content being spam. There's no law against me sending you 10 spam DMs a day on Twitter. Is that really what you want?
Giving people the choice of whether they want to accept moderation or not, seems reasonable.
For example, if twitter allowed everything that is allowed by law, but also gave people control over content that they see, then that seems fine.
There is a fundamantal difference between disallowing something, and giving a user the option of not seeing certain content.
IE, I do not believe that the block feature is censorship, for example.

I'd want to have the option to control the content that I see, as opposed to twitter forcing its own decision. I don't see a problem with someone choosing to allow spam to themselves, if they are OK with that.
