I'd be in favour of their automated removal, and adding filters to
prevent their future addition.

We should not, of course, remove either the full URLs nor the whole
PoIs, since that would open us up to attack from bad actors
masquerading as the companies whose commercial sites we depict. And
would in any case be a ridiculous over-reaction, and damaging to our
reputation.
