Should governments be able to block websites?

No, I don't think it's right for government institutions to block websites. I'm a firm advocate of freedom of information. As long as the people are not being harmed in any way by the contents of a certain website, then governments should leave it be. If a particular website breaks the law, then it should be put to trial and punished. Blocking websites seems like an attempt to further oppress and control people. It should not be done without enough reason and justification.
