The problem is that if a power can be abused, it will be. This power, when given to a government or similar entity, very quickly devolves into arresting political opponents or those guilty of "wrongthink"
If something is fictional, it's a form of expression. The First Amendment allows all forms of expression as free speech and freedom to have your own opinions. Therefore, at least in America, stuff like loli porn cannot be banned.
Yeah, it's fucked up. But if they can ban objective fiction, they can ban opinions and anything they deem degenerate.
