If the Government issues an order to remove a post that says "Don't Get vaccinated and pray instead" vs "you called our President/King/Autocrat a cnut, so your post should be removed and your ID passed on so you can be prosecuted" are both having the govenrmt intervene, most sane people in democracies would be ok with the former but not the latter.
