Going extrajudicial also turns it into an immovable object "policy says no" rather than a deliberative process to achieve balanced justice.

I'm sure there would be plenty of cases where, even if the argument didn't end at "an IP address is not a person", a judge would recognize that cutting off service would injure third parties (for example, the children of the household enrolled in online schooling), or just acknowledge that in a 21st-century economy, blocking someone from Internet access may as well be sending them to a relocation camp in Amish country.
