You can ethically take blocking actions just fine if you allow for due process. The mere existence of bans is not what's being criticized. (Though I'd say bans generally shouldn't be lifetime either.)

I'm sure there will come a reckoning at some point that results in the bar being lifted... much like we can no longer run restaurants out of our houses with no oversight from a governing health and hygiene entity.
