Why not start by eliminating the known bad guys?

We all get spam and malware emails which waste time and clutter up the communications network. There are horrendous websites condoning and encouraging suicide, giving instructions on how to murder those with different 'religious' persuasions etc. So why aren't they on top of the list to be snooped on and removed from circulation? We all know they are there, the ISPs have the ability to shut them down. OK, there's the censorship issue, but surely commonsense tells us that should not be allowed to be put forward in defence of blatant evil? Let's be reasonable and draw the line.
