An understandable reaction - but a very slippery slope.
And then.......
"Google, Facebook etc you are hosting (or linking to) pages set up by disgruntled current / former customers of a company and this is causing that company to lose money - we demand that you do more to protect the interests of these companies."
will become
"Google, Facebook, etc, you are hosting (or linking to) pages setup by disgruntled citizens who hope to enact change in government policies by encouraging other disgruntled citizens to sign a petition. We demand that you do more to ensure these pages never see the light of day."
and progress to
"Google, Facebook, etc you are hosting (or linking to) videos uploaded by people who have an opinion that differs to that of the government of this country - we demand that you act swiftly to prevent these videos from being widely seen - before they infect others who may adopt the same opinions as those expressed by the uploader of the video."
and eventually
"Google, Facebook, etc you are hosting (or linking to) content uploaded / posted by people whereupon they express thoughts and opinions that we have decided are detrimental to our ability to run our country in whatever way we see fit. As such - we demand that you ONLY allow content to be linked to and / or uploaded if it meets the content guidelines in this 25,000 page document."
