Yep, though you should always be careful what mechanisms you allow to be used to ban stuff. It's no surprise they're trying to use laws designed for terrorist and child sexual abuse, those are often the ones used as justification for mechanisms that would seem excessively authoritarian otherwise (those and money laundering).
The danger with allowing tools like this to exist is always that people get weird ideas about what other things they can be used for. Doesn't matter how loudly anyone promised they'll never be used for anything else.
