Awful. A government should not be allowed to block websites.

That statement doesn’t really make sense. Especially in this case, the website is a business and a store. A government definitely has the right to take legal action against a physical store operating within it’s jurisdiction, so why would the same not hold true for an electronic one?

What about websites providing CSAM, hosting livestreams of animals being tortured for payment, selling drugs, etc…

Blocking a website is the only way for a country to stop these kind of illegal activists, short of shutting down the physical servers.
