Bitcoins aren't individual. You just have addresses with an associated sum, once two different addresses send 1 Bitcoin each to that address, those are equal and if you send 1 Bitcoin from the address who just received it, it's not one of Bitcoins that was received that got sent, it's just two values being updated at the same time (sender's amount decremented, receivers amount incremented). What you can do, is blacklist specific addresses, and deny receiving/sending to anything that been "in contact" with that address. But you will for sure end up blocking more than you want with this approach, although that might not be a huge issue for the ones who are trying to block things.

This is just wrong, sorry. You're describing the account model, but bitcoin follows the UTXO model. If you received coins from multiple transactions, those coins are not equal and retain their individual histories. To spend from an address with multiple UTXOs, you (or your wallet software) must choose which specific coins to send using coin control. https://www.investopedia.com/terms/u/utxo.asp https://www.investopedia.com/terms/u/utxo.asp https://thebitcoinmanual.com/articles/what-is-coin-control/ https://thebitcoinmanual.com/articles/what-is-coin-control/
