US social media has deleted graphic pictures of US torture as "terrorist propaganda" before [0], even quite historical pictures are classified as "child pornography" [2].

You can talk about it, and if you made a group to find out more about these things and tried to raise awareness, you wouldn't have to fear for your life and that of your family. That's quite the difference, and not hard to notice at all.
