The closest source I have to hand "the doctrine that knowledge, truth and morality exist in relation to culture, society, or historical context, and are not absolute" does seem to cover some of the arguments dealing with Goodreads' censorship.

Thus, for the first time in my life, I’ve attempted basically stream of consciousness writing ...
