With the exception of Joe-Jobs, spamvertised websites should be

If this were rigorously enforced, it would provide a mechanism for
anybody with an axe to grind to take out any web site on the planet. Once
all the commercial web sites had been taken off the air, the commercial
web hosters would go out of business. Once all the web hosters were off
the air, the access providers would go out of business (since there would
be no interweb left for their customers to look at).

Tired old argument that completely misses the "with the exception of joe jobs" clause.
