You're making the assumption that rightsholders will continue to publish or allow others to publish the old edition. Maybe this time when it becomes a big deal in a news cycle, but the next time it happens, it won't be as big a deal. The tenth time it happens, nobody will know or care:
"Old news. Fascists trying to make a big deal out of something that happens every day. You didn't see them crying when they censored all of the atheist books, so why are they crying now when we're censoring all the Nazis? This is just foreign propaganda trying to exaggerate the differences between us, most normal people are united in their support of The Homeland against Eastern Mind Control." --comment on RedditHN circa 2035.
The thing that alarms me most is that these are people censoring extremely successful masterworks from revered authors. The stuff being written today, by nobody-yets, is being pre-corrected.
