Actually, I'm sure SOMEONE's regulating the ubernet. Not sure what goverment branch does, but pr0n sites arent illegal, they must follow strict rules like no under 18 models or allowed, disclaimers, copyrights, etc...
I'm sure if someone started a site promoting like... kitty pr0n, the fed would be all over it in like 30 secs. So for sure... someone's watching, and the laws do apply.

The problem you run into is that there's no set of firm guidelines for what exactly qualifies as "hate speech."
Well that answers that question...
