Actually... the most obvious case where large corporations make money off people using their services for illegal purposes - banks - require the bank to shut down the account if it appears the customer might be doing something dodgy. So there's definitely precedent.

Really, that's not exactly true. Normally, they only have to report suspicious behaviour. Many banks also choose to close accounts that they perceive as risky, and that in some ways is similar to this case, and for the same reason equally problematic.
