I'm perfectly fine for people that are a detriment to a society to not be let partecipate in the society.

My only gripe with the whole thing is that we shouldn't rely nor give private companies such power. That is something that provider should have deferred to judiciary, and then acted upon their direction.

There is a scale question in there to be solved, but frankly it's scary how much power comes from the oligopolization of certain aspect of the infrastructure. It's not even just internet, payment processors are so few they can literally meet in a zoom call and decide you won't do any business in half of the world.
