Are mods in MP a public statement?

Ubisoft has said that SH5 has the ability to be modded, but did not say to what extent.

WHAT IF?: Ubisoft or the Government in the country which hosted the servers believed a mod, due to design could create political unrest and instability; would that mod be censored?

All members here can dream up a mod that makes a strong political statement, such as a the captain, on deck, wiping his butt with the flag of an enemy country, or "mooning" the French President while in review, or simply painting his sub or ship with emblems or hoisting a flag which is distasteful to a certain government.

I will bet that certain mods will not be permitted in gameplay, what say you?
