Can you censor anyone from posting CSAM on Nostr? No.
Can you censor anyone from making a inscription CSAM on Bitcoin? No.
Why is SimpleX even worried about what some no-life pedos do on a self-hosted private group chat?
It's a battle you can't win, and is far too often used as an excuse/trojan horse to censor other things, push for anti-privacy and encryption backdoors. Look at the UK mess recently.

so youd prefer they didnt censor CSAM?
the fact that "what about the children/terrorism" is an excise used to rationalize LE overreach
doesn't then mean that CSAM isn't a problem and people should do nothing.
You think that will stop pedos? You can't win that battle, and if you start implementing ways to censor things, down the line they will be used(abused) to censor other things. It's a slippery slope.
To answer your question ask yourself how would you feel if you released & app then for a few years all you hear is only pedos are using your app & your responsible wtf you gunna do about it? The law holds you accountable because your the operator. So if you don't remove the child pornography then you can be prosecuted. But csam is totally different because csam just is a broad jargen to say anything that looks like a kid so hentai & etc even though it's legal & acceptable they just brush it all under the same blanket.
Also the eu/uk is going through a cluster of law changes screwing around so I am sure he's constantly checking with his law team what can he do while keeping anonymity. But lets be forward about something. YOU CAN HOST EVERYTHING YOURSELF!
You want to upload any hentai or stuff afraid if might be considered csam & get you blocked from group directory host your own smp, xftp, & directory bot. Then you have freedom to do whatever & your bound by nobodies terms of service or privacy policy except your own.
