If you're referring to the recent books like Maus being removed from the school curriculum in America, they were banned for things like containing nudity and rude words. From what I can tell from the auto-translated version of the article, these Telegram posts were removed in Germany for breaking German law. Whether you think the German law is correct is a different issue.

Nah, nudity was used as excuse. It does not have erotics and all visible body parts are those of the mouses.
I'm referring to the many books that never make it near a school, sparing their opponents from having to reckon with their own censorious, book-burning natures.
