In some cases, it could harm ongoing investigations to shut down known
terrorist sites that could be used as open source intel sources & tracking
resources. Very few people (that aren't interested) look at that stuff
online....most normal people are shown this stuff via normal media outlets.
Then you run into the idea of reducing psychological warfare vs. the freedom
of press. Just something to think about....
