Do you think it is acceptable to close a website completely because of its content?

Considering personal opinion, experience and knowledge, freedom and democratic society it is unacceptable to close completely website because of its content. Every person has right to decide himself what to do, watch or listen. Everybody has right to have his own taste and opinion and everyone knows what benefits him. According to it closing websites because of its contents is infringement of personal interests and rights. Most countries all over the world emphasize that they are democratic and democracy means that everyone has right to make decisions himself. However, closing websites abridges freedom and restricts liberty. Opponents would urge that some websites contain bad videos and harmful things for kids’ mind. Firstly, every person is able to think and recognize himself what is bad for him and what is not. In addition, we can’t say definitely if website’s content is good or bad. For example, in some European countries www.tagged.com is forbidden by government because some people used it in unmoral ways. It is normal meeting site like a Facebook and a lot of people used it in properly way. What is about kids it is irrelevant to what I am discussing here. It is completely different problem whether parents should or not give permission their kids to use internet. I think that there are a lot of reasons to accept that prohibiting websites is unacceptable and abusive.
