As I've said for a long time, I don't mind moderation, I just want to be in charge of what I see. Give me the tools that the moderators have, let me be able to filter out bots at some confidence level; let me see "removed" posts, banned accounts; don't mess with my searches unless I've asked for that explicitly.

Power to the people.

I don't think that really deals with beheading videos, incitement to terrorism, campaigns to harass individuals and groups, child porn, and many cases where online communities document or facilitate crimes elsewhere.

The vast majority of moderator removed comments and posts on Reddit have nothing to do with the illegal activities you mention.

The vast majority of removed comments are made to shape the conversations.

I think most people would be ok with letting admins remove illegal content, while allowing moderators shape content, as long as users could opt-in to seeing content the mods censored.

This is a win-win. If people don't want to see content they feel is offensive, they don't have to.

Let the user decide.
