They already curate projects for a lot less than this, as does nearly every store. YouTube doesn't host every video, HN doesn't post every link, B&N doesn't sell every book -- it's actually hard to think of counterexamples where they don't draw a line far before legality or some other obvious choice.
Not to say there aren't places that wouldn't carry this book -- but, nearly every store controls their inventory.

Barnes and Noble not selling every book though has less to do with the content of any particular book and more to do with its overall sales figures, I imagine. Not stocking the Kama Sutra because it's offensive is a problem (which is probably best suited to Davis Kidd booksellers); not stocking the Kama Sutra because it doesn't sell is a business decision. I have no idea how YouTube manages their videos, so I can't comment on that. HN is community moderated, and that's a feature, not a bug. All of the above though are different entirely from a project being approved, fully funded, then removed after the fact as a response to a vocal opposition group.
