The analogy is inapt.  As for loans, Verizon is not an enabler of
the damages caused by its customers'  loan defaults.   It IS an
enabler of their spamming.

This type of wholesale response is valid and often done even
by government agencies in order to bring pressure on a jurisdiction
to clean up its act.  For example, stringent visa requirements for
nationals of countries lax against terror--essentially a form of
whitelisting.

Indeed your examples seem to support rather than oppose 
blacklisting.
