I think we can agree that Nazi's are not something we want to assocuate with. Help me understand, what would you do? How would you limit the service to prioritize[s] privacy in order to protect human rights defenders, journalists, and everyday users who value their privacy but then also filter out Nazi's? How would this be different from TOR?

You can't. Technology that can be used for human rights can be used for Nazi content. That's just the way the world works. You can't put a back door into it to stop the Nazi content because then the back door will be used by anybody who has access to it and also those who don't. You cannot back door math. Sorry.
