With only one or two exceptions it would be impossible to create a 'forbidden sponsor' list. Sort of like banning speech.
It is possible to build a negative image of nearly any legal sponsor on the planet. That sounds a little far fetched but I can list a many companies and products that has a list of enemies. Industrial food grid ? Bottled water ? The automobile ? Medicine ? Wood products ? You name it there is an anti-advocacy group.
The forbidden list - illegal activities - drug cartels, etc. Just like in contract law.
