You're right, a book like this, and any other book could have a positive or negative impact. But without the book, you would be shooting in the dark, looking for these individuals. Forcing the book underground is just going to make it that much harder to catch and change these individuals.
I don't think I'm sensationalizing the idea of book burning because in truth, that's what it is in digital form. in fact on a larger scale as it threatens the policies of future digital distribution for millions of people when an angry mob's beliefs, fears, and emotions override the freedom of one man's right to speak his mind, they can override it for everyone else.
Luckily, unlike the Nazi book burnings, we can flip a switch without any loss of data.
