Would it be reasonable to restrict non-language information differently from language information? Where language information is any version of language - spoken language, written language, video depictions of written language, sung language, etc.

IMO most of the problem with restricting language information is that it can stop ideas from spreading, which is functionally very limiting for democracy from a distributed computational perspective.

Does the same problem apply to non-language information? Especially for things other than real events (e.g. police actions, a protest, etc).

It seems possibly much easier to draw the line within e.g. video depictions than it is within language information.
