Yes, that's a trick question. Publishers updating older works so that they can sell them to modern audiences is all-caps capitalism. The anti-woke brigade cries "censorship" because they don't understand the First Amendment and they also resent that there's a limited market for offensive material, especially for media aimed at kids.
