No, because I don't think any particular person or political party or government should have the power to decide what is and is not harmful literature. There are plenty of books I think are genuinely harmful, but I'd rather they exist than someone have the ability to burn every book that doesn't align with their religious ideals or whatever.

A person or government could ban or burn every book they deem harmful & it still wouldn’t stop whatever it is they think is dangerous. You have other means to get information other than books.

Sure, but this is a question about whether I support banning/burning some books, and that's my answer. I don't support giving any one entity control over what is and isn't harmful.
