When a book is actually "banned", you get thrown in jail for downloading an illegal copy from libgen or conspiring to distribute photocopied samizdat. Consult the United Kingdom for examples.
What would you call it when the government tells a library to remove books?
Removal of books from a library. If a library includes material glorifying national socialism would you argue it should be removed as well?
>By that definition, almost nothing is banned anywhere outside of North Korea and similar authoritarian regimes.
I think "liberalism" is the word you are struggling for. Germany is more heavy handed on this then America for example.
"We're not burning books. We're just making a public bonfire of wood products."

I've seen Mein Kampf in a library.
Should it be kept there because many people keep reading it or do you believe that any library needs curation based on ideology?
