>What Is a “Banned Book”?
>Regime “Banned Books” have special sections at Indigo and in school libraries. Their controversies occur whenever someone tries to remove them from the mandatory reading list or reshelve them at a higher recommended reading age.

>REAL Banned Books are decades out of print with publishers who refuse to re-release them despite used copies going for hundreds of dollars due to pent-up demand. Many have authors who were assassinated, driven to suicide, or spent decades in prison or exile… and yet others failed to publish in light of the risk, only coming to publication decades if not closer to a century after the fact. The existence of these works is glossed over by more mainstream fans of the author, as search engines, site administrators, Wikipedia editors, and librarians slowly remove and suppress references to the work that they increasingly become impossible to even be aware of.

>And of course, many are explicitly, legally, banned, sanctioned, or otherwise restricted or prevented from distribution.

>And of course For the rarest, most hated examples… mere possession will result in punishment. Far from the school librarian setting out a display, the right book will get you sent to the deradicalization expert if not expelled… and for an even rarer subset, mere possession can result in years if not decades in prison even in countries all the indexes and US diplomats proudly label “Full Liberal Democracies”.

Yeah, I'm an ass online. That's been true since before the mosaic browser was released. I'm not going to try to deny it.

You see how those weren't all weird if me right? It's just a pic. Here's the newest one I saved.
