Even in your example, the underlying principle is still 'presumed innocent until proven guilty'. Which is fine, and no one has an argument with that. Cutting off the internet for the entire house has a 'presumed guilty until proven innocent' principle to it, because if you had really proven the guilt of the guilty person, you wouldn't be punishing the entire house.
