Your argument in favour of anarchy does not apply in real life, so why should it apply on the internet.

Some people might think robbing banks is ok because the banks can afford it. That doesn't mean laws aren't enacted because "not everyone" agrees with it.

Hmm, if it is spam malware, in .ru for example (and many other
countries), it may actually be be legal software. so, no.. too general

maybe you mean slavery, cannibalism & child abuse?
(then, the Internet may be used to assist in the crimes similar to a
car used to assist in a robbery...)

Which specific Internet abuse qualifies for "internationally agreed
prohibited items" ?

and the real question still remains: "how tech should respond to abhorrent content, and
whether content should be policed by registrars, browsers, or social networks"

I say no. Whichever region law enforcement should enforce laws. Not
huge multinational companies enforcing their monoculture on the world.
