Ah, Twitter — such a boon to society. (Updated)

Oh, the horror!
Twitter suspends Senator’s account over a hunting photo.
We can probably (maybe?) attribute the ban to a Twitter censor’s abhorrence of hunting, rather than a sick sexual perversion that gets off on pictures of dead animals, but still …
Daines’ account is “temporarily unavailable because it violates the Twitter Media Policy,” according to a disclaimer written in his biography. Daines’ profile picture violated Twitter’s “sensitive media policy” because it contained “graphic violence or adult content,” according to a screenshot posted by Axios reporter Josh Kraushaar.
The policy reads that users cannot “post media that is graphic or share violent or adult nudity and sexual behavior” in video or in profile or banner images. Daines profile photo depicted him and his wife posing with an animal while on a hunting trip.
Question: How do we know that the senator and his wife aren’t just posing with their pet pronghorn? It looks rather peaceful and contented, to me.
