Your analogy fails for a key reason:

The RBL list does allow you to have the address removed once you've
proven  you're no longer an open - mail relay.  I've had my local ISP
have this problem a few times.  Also, unlike what theEFF article says,
at least in my case, there was identification that the message was
blocked by the recipient ISP, notably that the recipient blocked my
mail due to the fact that my ISP was an open-relay.

The molestor case exists (thank you meghan's law) and unlike RBL
doesn't allow for an individual to be removed.
