Retribution, that was obvious to me.
Examples: Physical violence as retribution is illegal, while being kicked off of board seats and other areas of influence isn't. Being 86'd (banned) from private establishments isn't illegal.
I'm inclined to think that this is less important than protecting the calls of people who had mental health emergencies and the like.
