“But we do forget that most people are good. By letting the narrative only ever reflect the presence of abusive actors, we enable people who want to pervert social media to their own political control.” https://alecmuffett.com/article/108544

If you want an idea of how insufferable and petty (government driven) censorship can actually be, you only need look at this.
So, what does this particular instance accomplish?
Well, it raises costs for small businesses who might spend thousands of dollars appealing this nonsense (yes, it literally costs thousands of dollars as they are billed to convene the appeals board), it interferes with freedom of expression / culture, it frustrates regular folks, it tends to have discriminative biases, and it isn't accomplishing anything.
Most importantly, you can't live in a giant prison, so some politician (who I think actually lost the last election) somewhere can posture a bit.
But, to respond to your particular point, it doesn't really make sense to burn down sites, burn down communities, I suppose any random avenue, where some evil person might appear, and so forth, because of a few bad people who no one really wants. And it's good people who would be hurt.
