People get emotional and re-share pictures and videos more than text.

A photoshop of a politician doing something they never did or a deepfake of them saying something they never said is a lot more infectious than a mere written claim of the same thing.

It's only cencorship if they prevented that and NOT also your clearly virtuous and harmless pet video.
