Is there a historical precedent for when the side who advocates banning books turned out to be the side of good?


Here are some examples that a majority of people likely agree should be burned and are probably on the side of good

- books containing literal child porn

- books with troop locations and movement during an ongoing war

- books with current nuclear launch codes

I am not sure how many of those have any historical precedence though.
