I have a technical necessity to technically remove greed from the network The point was blocking is already happening this just makes it easier for the user to choose.

I say that if people choose to knowingly load adware ridden clients onto their own computers, hey, who am I to oppose that
But by using those clients they are making a buck for the corporation from MY CPU cycles, electricity, network resources, and so on and I want a choice not to contribute. That's the point.
The longer you let them on the network, the more they will spam, spy and use us, they can't stop themselves, it's pure greed. So I choose not to provide support for them. They need to go create their own closed network and do what they want with their client only.
Yes you will lose a few nodes, but it's worth it in the long run.
The power is now in the hands of the people, not the corporations.
