One is Russian media, just as Russia bans European media.

Also the world's largest library is banned in Germany.

Piracy is illegal in most countries. Unless you mean the American Library of Congress, but that's an American decision, not a European one.

The first one I'm ok with, the second one I'm not sure what you're saying? Google suggests the largest library in the world is the US Congress library, but I couldn't find any sources saying it's banned in Germany? (Also, it's a physical place in the US... What?)

Closest thing I could find to library banned in Germany was a collection of pirated material, which was blocked at a DNS level, meaning many users bypass the ban accidentally, and anyone who wants to can trivially use a different DNS.

I mean I'm probably more in favour of digital piracy than the next guy, but I had completely missed that were calling copyright protection censorship now?

He probably means a famous pirating site, called library dot something.
