I put "mandatory filtering" in the same rough category for banning--it's removing access from people based on someone else's preferences. I have no problem at all with people setting up their own filters and never seeing content they're not interested in.

EDIT: Just curious--what standard would you use to determine whether or not a book has impacted another person's behavior?

I find the question irrelevant. I assume that all aspects of a person's life, and all things they see or do or think about, will affect their behavior. Sorting out what influences tend to cause behaviors that are harmful to others is useful; sorting out what influences "affect behaviors" is meaningless. Everything affects behavior.
