Please, let's be honest about this discussion.

These books were not banned.

They were removed from libraries.

You can still legally get copies of them from any number of booksellers.

Making something harder to get doesn't make it illegal. It doesn't mean it is banned. It doesn't mean you can incur legal problems for owning it.

So,

If you have money you can have knowledge.

If you are poor, so sorry, no knowledge for you. Go pick some crops.

Actually, kind of what we have now.

Smut is not knowledge.
Then stop buying it.

Ezekiel 23:19-21

"There she had longed for her lovers. Their private parts seemed as big as those of donkeys. And their flow of semen appeared to be as much as that of horses. You longed for the time when you first became impure in Egypt. That was when you allowed your breasts to be kissed. And you permitted your young breasts to be touched.”
