They do shut them down. A lot of people don't realize they are subbed through illegitimate means, through stolen credit cards. This means that oft said thing where people say "Square won't shut them down because they make so much money from it!" is total horse dung because not only do SE not make money off them, they lose money because they are charged fines by the credit card companies. They ban often, it's just you can't stop chinese bot farms with credit cards taken from spam lists.
