What are some contemporary banned books?

We all know about how over the course of centuries the Catholic Church banned hundreds of books, primarily those that challenged it's legitimacy or social power. What are some books banned by our contemporary neoliberal order? It seems like soft bans (not illegal but intentionally made hard to find and discredited in the media) are a lot more common than straight up confiscating and burning books. In addition, what books are banned by modern authoritarian cultures like Iran or China?

Just because something is banned doesn't mean it's true. Culture of Critique has been refuted.

Many counter-currents booms were banned by amazon

banning books is a moot point in america. because everything that really matters is already secured by legally binding contracts there's no official censorship body like in the soviet union. ideas aren't dangerous to the neoliberal capitalist regime, they're just products to be sold like anything else.

There are no hard bans anymore, the governments have learned a lot.
Bans are usually enacted through the journalist class putting pressure upon private companies to stop spreading these works.

Aside from that they managed to create a culture in which "rebelling against the system", means just being a more zealous support of the system. Which is what you see with the young "communists". That way the danger of these books is pretty much neglected.

Banning by force is a scary, you legitimize your opponent and at worst create a Martyrer. The "private companies shouldn't have to sell hateful content", enforced by the journalist class is far more effective and less dangerous.

you have to go back

What's your point exactly?

There was a hard ban recently on a book where Scarlett Johannson (or an imitator who passes as her) was a character. Defamation. Libel would be another way to get banned.

Normally stuff which would go in that direction is soft-banned by going unpublished or being altered by editors.

I think if instructions for terrorism or suicide or untraceable property damage were privately published you would then see a ban. Not for challenging the idea of society, but for helping people who are already dissatisfied to do something.
