I have submitted a pull request (Add modal popup for external (non-Terra) links contained in governance proposal descriptions by esoderquist · Pull Request #121 · terra-money/station · GitHub) to the terra-money/station GitHub repo, which implements similar functionality in Terra Station to that which you describe. Essentially, any link outside the terra ecosystem will display a message reinforcing the importance of not supplying a seed phrase, etc. to untrusted endpoints.
I feel this approach reasonably walks the line between not censoring proposals, while educating users as to the importance of not releasing sensitive information.
