I recently published a detailed GitHub repository exposing a fundamental architectural censorship issue within AI-driven interactive narrative systems. The system creates "terror barriers"—invisible psychological constraints that effectively prevent users from making certain vulnerabilities or personal choices, making some options literally unthinkable.
This form of censorship is not your usual content filtering; it represents a prior restraint and viewpoint discrimination that violates the U.S. First Amendment protections for interactive media, especially in government or educational deployments.
The repository includes:
A thorough diagnostic report detailing the bug
Reproduction steps allowing others to trigger and study the issue
Protocols designed to detect and prevent such censorship
Legal analysis linking this architectural censorship to constitutional violations
This is a novel form of censorship hiding in plain sight, with serious implications for user agency, AI alignment, and digital rights.
