Does the Internet need controls or censorship?

I was reading about this exact thing y'day. Someone from a Japanese reality show committed suicide due to bullying over social media I'm assuming, and the users were calling for tighter controls on those kinda comments. But you can't do that with so many comments rushing in.
I am pretty anti-censorship as you can tell with our laid back approach to running this forum, but some things definitely cross the line. One time I saw a (real) terrorist beheading video and I am still scared from it. Things like that should be censored/banned for sure.
There are some things that should be censored. Hate speech, grotesque videos and so on, but most speech should be protected from censorship.
Ah, yeah, there's a huge niche for videos like that, sadly. So, so many out there, even sites that used to actively promote them, like Ogrish.
