Would you consider Facebook preventing a user from posting to be "banning" or "censorship"? Even though they can still post on, say, Twitter?

  Nonsense analogy. The right one is not getting invited to a party and crying about getting banned.

    The article indicates that they are actually removing books that are already in libraries. So it's more like I just got kicked out of the party and you're playing ridiculous word games saying I wasn't "banned" because there's a party down the street I can go to. Also, you didn't answer the question: would Facebook removing my ability to post be considered "banning"?

      >The article indicates that they are actually removing books that are already in libraries. Every library removes books. It is the most normal thing, my library has regular book sales where they let books go. If you want to call distributing books for low prices "banning them" I guess I can not help you.

        Do you see a difference between a library choosing to sell old books to make room for new ones, and being forced to remove books for political reasons? If not, then I guess I cannot help you. Good luck out there buddy.

You are the only one here trying to re-define ban, i.e., playing word games. We are talking about public or school libraries, which are government institutions. When they remove books, based on narrow religious criteria, that is exactly the government prohibiting circulation (your own definition) via those govt-controlled channels of schools and libraries.
