Barnes and Noble not selling every book though has less to do with the content of any particular book and more to do with its overall sales figures, I imagine. Not stocking the Kama Sutra because it's offensive is a problem (which is probably best suited to Davis Kidd booksellers); not stocking the Kama Sutra because it doesn't sell is a business decision.
I have no idea how YouTube manages their videos, so I can't comment on that.
HN is community moderated, and that's a feature, not a bug.
All of the above though are different entirely from a project being approved, fully funded, then removed after the fact as a response to a vocal opposition group.
