It's still not against the first amendment, since that's specifically about the government limiting rights. It's completely within a website's right to prevent people from making certain types of statements (for instance, the English Wikipedia has a policy regarding this); heck, most wikis do it in the form of disallowing vandalism. It may also especially be within the crew's right to ask that this material be censored specifically (particularly before it is out) because it may be in violation of their intellectual property rights. But then, I don't know enough about intellectual property law to say for sure...

Anyway,, presuming I understand the proposal correctly.
