Book bans, unintended consequences and mainstream media
Reality is often upsettingCensorship and challenging of library books in Western nations have risen sharply, driven by organized political campaigns targeting LGBTQIA+ themes, race, and geopolitical conflicts.
* "Bondi library removes book How to Sell a Genocide from shelves after complaint."
“..It makes some people upset is unfortunate, but reality is often upsetting. This particular reality is especially upsetting … to the parents of the over 20,000 children killed by Israel in Gaza since October 2023. Do Sydney officials plan on removing pro-Israel books from their libraries because it potentially upsets these community members?” >>
https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2026/aug/18/sydney-waverley-library-removes-book-how-to-sell-a-genocide-from-shelves-ntwnfb* Book censorship?
That is when the 'the Streisand effect' kicks in: "It is the phenomenon in which an attempt to hide, remove, or censor information results in the unintended consequence of the effort instead increasing public awareness of the information." (wikipedia)* Here is the banned book:
How to Sell a Genocide
The Media’s Complicity in the Destruction of Gaza, By Adam H. Johnson >>
