Moral
Broad moral grounds — "indecent," "corrupting to youth," "contrary to public morals" — have historically served as catch-all categories for banning books that challenged prevailing social norms. Ireland's Censorship Board, operating under the 1929 Censorship of Publications Act, banned thousands of books on these grounds, including works by the country's most celebrated authors.
