Because they don't actually have an example of not imminently violence causing non-fraudulent speech that SCOTUS has upheld a ban of. And then when you call them out they'll say "but wait, it's metaphorical". If they had a better example they'd be using it.

The sharing and owning of those videos aren't part of the violence as they are with CSAM. That feels evident, right?
