I doubt that these were issues, more likely they put these in place to declare some sort of allegiance to certain groups. These groups seem to be more about policing people because the position of moral authority gives them some sort of high than solving actual issues (but that might require expending energy, time and resources so they stick to policing people online).

The fact that there are guidelines. I want my ISP to be a dumb pipe and not a content provider, filterer, etc, In the same way I want github to be a dumb service host.
