ITT: we post and talk about ACTUAL banned and censored books. Shit that even Amazon won't sell and finding a PDF can be hard, let alone a physical copy without paying high prices.

Are there any books banned in briatain or the US currently? I know the US has the first amendment so it must be pretty hard to get a book banned and I'm sure Britain had a law about no longer allowing books to be banned but I'm curious if nowadays they've reversed that.

Generally speaking, within criminal law, you wouldn't be charged with "reading" a banned book, but most likely possession. Remember it's always about property, not mens rea.

Not really censored but the anarchist cookbook will land you in a boiling pot of hot water. It was found on a person's computer computer when searched and is was used as an argument successfully in court. Made a joke about shooting up a school and they found that book and made an example of him. Obviously you don't really want the police to find a book about building bombs if you are not working in the demolition or pyro industries.

Canada will probably arrest you for any books that deny the holocaust or put blacks or Jews in a bad light.

In Australia some guy went to prison for having a PDF of a Victorian erotic novel called ‘The Pearl’ on his computer until the court realised you could buy it in the bookstore chain Dymocks.

There was also were some pedophile was charged with a bunch of shit but possession of some of Peter Sotos’ work was added to his list of charges.

your russian shadow libraries are good bc in the 60s ruskies had banned and censored books from the cccp so they had black market books
and then when commie fell books were too expensive and still kind of had access restricted so they started putting books online, esp uni people bc in the 90s only uni people had computers but as time went on more ruskies had access to computers so ur shadow libraries manned by russians grew


tl;dr russian shadow libraires

"Banned" doesn't actually mean banned, it's most challenged, which is a meme since any religious soccer mom or liberal tranny enabler can demand her school's library remove Harry Potter.
Actual banned "you're on a watch list" books like Industrial Society or the Great Replacement or the Anarchist's Cookbook are never available to be challenged to begin with.
