The "blacklisted" books were carefully chosen on account of content.
Off the top of my head?
Badly-coded search algorithim. See also Yahoo groups trying to stop "adult" discussion by banning words like "breast", without thinking of breast cancer, breast feeding, and so on.
A list of "adult" books purchased from a vendor which claimed to be assembled according to one set of standards but was actually assembled according to another. The last software test conference I went to had a hilarious set of examples from the Google Maps group on how they've learned to QA the data they import for Maps. If an import suddenly doubles the number of airports, for example, it probably means they weren't picked up as duplicates. Or the bus stop that appeared in the middle of Antarctica, no where near a road... ;)
