I think the question then becomes "what happens when the services refuse". Because the next step up is getting their ISP to kick them off.
The next step should be law enforcement: they can contact the service, and escalate to the judicial system if it refuses to act, which can decide whether to order the ISP to block the service, or close the company completely, or even jail the people behind it.
The ISP does never need to listen to, or even hear about, a problem with a service.
This feels like shutting down road access to the local stripmall just because the bar there doesn't properly handle it's drunks. Oh and leaving that decision up to a private, not elected and not accountable citizen
It seems more like revoking the licenses of the bar owners necessary to operate a bar.
