There IS one legitimate concern that could extrapolate to censorship:
Just as an example, in China there are a lot of banned materials. Even though it's the absolute height of hypocrisy to do so, China could use international law enforcement to persecute people in other countries producing materials banned in their own country.
Admittedly this is a simplified example, but it's something that could happen when it comes to "obscene" images, especially as the Japanese constitution explicitly forbids the distribution of "obscene" materials.
You would need a legion of lawyers from every single country to draft up what can and cannot be prosecuted.

I agree with you, I don't know what the answer to that concern is, all I know is that doing nothing isn't helping the world. Certainly I do not want to see any censorship or police state like action. But at the same time, there must be some middle ground that we can find that allows better protection for regular, everyday people and their online activity.
