Are there examples of censorship or prior restraint you’d like to highlight?
The problem is that an AI built to maximize paperclips might conclude that converting the planet to paperclips is an acceptable cost of maximizing paperclip production. It might understand why humans think it’s bad to convert the planet, but disagree. It would need to be explicitly programmed to prioritize human life over paperclips.
If it were super-intelligent, it could probably trick us into leaving it turned on.
