Ok, so you are saying what is the difference of an act of expression/protest vs an act of oppression then?

So where do you draw the line between the two then?

Genuinely asking, not trying to start an argument.

If the state or some public institution decides to burn all copies of To Kill A Mockingbird and deprives the public from the possibility to read it then it's censorship.

If you burn your own copy of To Kill A Mockingbird then it's not stopping anyone else from reading the book and you're effectively just burning your own money.
