There's a number of issues with the creation of adulterated versions of classic works cause by their mere existence. Unless you were already an expert in that particular topic, even knowing that the most accessible version is the censored one is difficult, since it's presumably not being published under the title "Classic Book: Current-Year Approved Edition", but just "Classic Book". The current dominance of streaming services also means that for most people the newest version may effectively be the only version that exists. And then there's the even worse practice of replacing version even for people who bought the original. In theory this could be done correctly. Products would announce that they're an edited version (and name the editor), and whatever digital storefront would enable people interested in the original to view it at no additional cost. But I don't trust modern platforms to do either of these things. Semi-related: Any video game developer that allows rolling back their game to any past version as a standard feature of their launcher deserves praise for this. And those whose remasters can be configured to be played exactly as the original should the user so wish.
