Imagine I own a bunch of billboards around town. A customer comes to me with cash and wants to display someone's personal details and a message encouraging harassment on my billboards.

Do I have to wait for law enforcement to stop me from displaying their content? Or can I, as a private company, make a judgement call and decline their business?

I think the answer here is pretty obvious and your attempt at passing the buck is pathetically weak.

Now suppose they own the billboard themselves but you're the power company they use to light up that billboard. Do you cut their power?
They can contract with a different company.
Maybe, what difference does it make? It’s a billboard.
