>A library having to remove books because someone else told it to is banning.
No.
A "Ban" means the government legally prohibits circulation. Stop these ridicolous word games.

Also, you didn't answer the question: would Facebook removing my ability to post be considered "banning"?
Every library removes books. It is the most normal thing, my library has regular book sales where they let books go. If you want to call distributing books for low prices "banning them" I guess I can not help you.
We are talking about public or school libraries, which are government institutions. When they remove books, based on narrow religious criteria, that is exactly the government prohibiting circulation (your own definition) via those govt-controlled channels of schools and libraries.
Literally not true.
Some other comment of yours: > Obviously not true.
I think the word you're looking for is "inconceivable". And I do not think it means what you think it means.
