    Burning still has too much of a negative connotation.

    They’ll pressure to expand more on banning books in schools, public libraries, pull public funding and restrict government aid payouts for universities unless they follow suit. They’ll let states decide that they can ban books for sale online unless the site forces an age check. They’ll give responsibility for the age check system to a corporation that is expected to do a lackluster job and wash their hands of it when there are complaints. Maybe some day they’ll step in to ‘fix’ it resulting in taking it down for maintenance and restructuring and then they just… never bring it back up. They’ll have a system for brick & mortar stores too, but it will be so excessive that few will bother.
