I am asking in advance if anyone has non-obvious consequences they want to point out or policy considerations they would like to raise.

I'm not sure what's obvious for you. In an enviroment without censorship you don't endorse a post by not censoring the post. If you however start censoring you do endorse a post by letting it stand.

Your legal and PR obligations for those posts that LessWrong hosts get bigger if you make editorial censorship decisions.

AIUI this is legally true: CDA section 230, mere hosting versus moderation.
