This is just wrong, sorry. You're describing the account model, but bitcoin follows the UTXO model.
If you received coins from multiple transactions, those coins are not equal and retain their individual histories. To spend from an address with multiple UTXOs, you (or your wallet software) must choose which specific coins to send using coin control.
What you can do, is blacklist specific addresses, and deny receiving/sending to anything that been "in contact" with that address. But you will for sure end up blocking more than you want with this approach, although that might not be a huge issue for the ones who are trying to block things.
