I disagree that the fact that it is removed from a shelf for doctrinal reasons is banning. It’s only banning if it’s actually banned, meaning you can’t have it at all, like Mein Kampf in Germany.

There’s surely a more accurate term than banning or curation here.

Mein Kampf has never been banned from possession in Germany. It just has not been published in the post-WW2 decades because the copyright holder, the Free State of Bavaria, decided to just not publish it and withhold the right to do so from anybody else. One could readily purchase, sell, or trade old copies at an antiquarian bookstore.

It's now in the public domain, so one could even set up a little publishing company and publish it oneself.

And it's an incredibly awful book, measured to all the 'fame' it holds in certain circles.

We have adjectives for this: a possession ban, a sales ban, a distribution ban, and so forth.
