The question I have is, should governments be able to close down, through whatever tactics they find, web sites, whether located in their own country or not?

I’m a bit ambivalent about the whole thing. I would love to see hate sites disappear, but I don’t like the thought of entities like a government censoring the free exchange of information. I can see where stopping a site would be useful, but I can also see instances, like in Iran, where free access to information from outside the country is essential when freedom is a goal.
