  A protocol for regulating the distribution of quantum information between
multiple parties is put forward. In order to prohibit the unrestricted
distribution of quantum-resource states in a public quantum network, agents can
apply a resource-destroying map to each sender's channel. Since
resource-destroying maps only exist for affine quantum resource theories,
censorship of a nonaffine resource theory is established on an operationally
motivated subspace of free states. This is achieved by using what we name a
resource-censoring map. The protocol is applied to censoring coherence,
reference frames, and entanglement. Because of the local nature of the
censorship protocol, it is, in principle, possible for collaborating parties to
bypass censorship. Thus, we additionally derive necessary and sufficient
conditions under which the censorship protocol is unbreakable.
