One Ban, Three Realities: Platform Enforcement as Recursive Narrative Generator
Abstract
This dataset contains a formalized methods-only observational document and accompanying Markdown log analyzing three contemporaneous video transcripts produced by different creators in response to a single platform moderation event. Although all three transcripts reference the same enforcement action, each constructs a distinct, non-interacting narrative reality shaped by audience alignment, rhetorical incentives, and positional framing. Rather than evaluating policy correctness or ideological legitimacy, this dataset documents how platform enforcement functions as a recursive narrative generator—producing parallel interpretations, grievance escalation, and identity reinforcement across creator ecosystems. The artifact is intended for digital ethnography, discourse analysis, and platform governance research, preserving an otherwise ephemeral moment of online meaning production.
