> having a content moderation function to review and assess suspected illegal content

That costs money. The average person can't know every law. You have to hire lawyers to adjudicate every report or otherwise assess every report as illegal. No one is going to do that for free if the penalty for being wrong is being thrown in prison.

A fair system would be to send every report of illegal content to a judge to check if it's illegal or not. If it is the post is taken down and the prosecution starts.

But that would cost the country an enormous amount of money. So instead the cost is passed to the operators. Which in effect means only the richest or riskiest sites can afford to continue to operate.
