I think it was clear that the posts themselves would have to be illegal (ie linking directly to illegal downloads or child porn) rather than being about illegal activities (such as doing drugs or bdsm). I imagine the distinction is "would you get in legal trouble for putting this on your own personal website"?

There are lots of places that have laws against the act of posting statements or images expressing particular views or information. In Thailand, you aren't allowed to post criticism of the royal family. In Germany, you aren't allowed to post a picture of a swastika. In Indonesia, you aren't allowed to write that you don't believe in God. And so forth...
So posting those sorts of things on Reddit would, in and of itself, be breaking the laws of those places. That's why I think it's important to know exactly which set of laws he's talking about.
