There needs to be some way of dealing with this that respects the rights of the person who is being talked about, and that has to involve some censorship.

IANAL, but isn't exchanging CSAM, non-consensual adult porn and snuff videos, in fact criminal action in most jurisdictions?
If that's true, legal action can be taken against those involved.
As for libel (let's call it defamation to make it more inclusive), there are legal avenues (civil litigation and, in very rare cases, criminal charges) which can be pursued there too.
Are those avenues insufficient in your view? If so, what would you suggest, other than the current legal regime, in such situations?
we demand reasonable levels of due diligence from owners of private businesses when criminal activity is concerned. If you run a business that sells stolen goods, someone runs a drug ring out of your restaurant or you serve alcohol to minors you have a big problem.
This is so because law enforcement can only ever act after the fact and would of course be completely overburdened if every private actor was willfully ignorant of what goes on in their establishments. Not to mention that this is also to our benefit because without that level of civic involvement as a first line of defense the logical conclusion is a police/legal state involved in every transaction. Which is literally what you see in countries with weak civil societies but big tech firms. if neither the people nor business owners take responsibility, who is left?
