If you censor it and make it so only criminals have it, you just increase their profitability. As it is, because it's illegal, people buy stolen/fake IDs to pay for it (since they buy from criminals theres no trace to the end customer), use anonymous payment services (who aren't able to identify where the money went) and go through layers of encryption to ensure their content is secure (VPNs, trucrypt, etc.)
I don't know if censorship prevents hate; it either redirects it to new words (code to prevent outsiders from knowing it's offensive) or gives people reason to believe that they're actually hurting someone with what they say, which is what they wanted in the first place. If it wasn't offensive it wouldn't need to be censored.
