Specifically, something that allows the following item in the TOS to be removed or eased.

Posting content of any kind that incites discrimination, hate or violence towards one person or a group of people because of their belonging to a race, religion or nation is strictly prohibited.

Inciting 'discrimination, hate or violence' isn't my thing, but clearly it's important to many people who might contribute or increase site activity.

Free speech is an attractive ideal for me and many others - unfortunately following through with it means giving up a lot of website control.

Only if subs can go private with an additional option by the admin to force subs private (by private, I mean "you can't see their content unless you are subscribed or directly on that sub). That's the only way I'd support that. Otherwise we 100% have to play in the same playground and my mother taught me not to defecate in my own yard.

Private subs bring in a whole new wave of admin responsibility. That's not an option at this point. What if someone started a child porn sub as private? Only the admins could see it and bring out down, which is only a few users seeing a few thousand posts some days.

I didn't say invite only. That would certainly lock it down like that. No, it just doesn't show up in /all. That's all it means.

Sure, subscribers only. I like that option and I would enjoy that. The big problem is EU regulations coming through that content providers are responsible for the content they host, whether it be links, images or videos.

Having private subs prevents a majority of the community from flagging something that may get the site taken down in certain countries. Maybe having private subs would actually prevent certain countries from seeing the content and be super beneficial. I don't know. It's just wavy ground to walk upon.
