At various times, most social media platforms have received criticism for alleged failure to prevent distribution of copyright-infringing content. Few, however, have been threatened with widespread blocking more often than Telegram. In a row that seemed ready to boil over last year, Telegram was given an ultimatum by the Malaysian government; come to the negotiating table or face the consequences. A Malaysian minister now says that Telegram is ready to fight piracy.

Just Google the paradox of tolerance. It's really not as complicated as you're making it out to be.

Also, punching Nazis is always morally correct. If you wouldn't attack a nazi because they're not currently threatening you specifically then you won't develop any additional moral prerogative in time of civil war - you'll join them, because they're still not threatening you specifically, while fair and equal redistribution of resources will effect you. You don't have any sort of morality or ideology underlying your objection, you just think extreme things are bad because you're not given a choice.
