The government has been doing things like this for ages. Like they say, "you can beat the rap, but you can't beat the ride". In this case, they might close down a website and you can get it back after due process, but not before your business and good name has been ruined. Same thing would happen if they walked into your business and arrested you for something.
If you want a more modern problem, look at drug forfeiture. They regularly take physical property and cash from people who are often not charged with crimes or even arrested, and even worse, distribute the cash and proceeds from sale of the items seized among the law enforcement agents themselves.
Personally, I had a vintage car seized because of a situation with a college roommate unrelated to me. I was not arrested or charged with a crime, they said my car was cool and maybe they could use it for drug investigations, and just took it! After 16 months of stalling, they gave it back, for a fee of $1000. My car sat in the sun in an impound lot all that time, and required $4,000 of work before it started again.
