A comment on Estimating Value of Facebook by Paying Users to Stop Using It. Parent comment
It would be a slam dunk lawsuit.
You can still offer discounts (airline tickets, Adobe, etc.) or negotiate pricing (cars, etc.) legally.
But, it is illegal to isolate someone and charge them more without justification as in OC's example.
So yes, Facebook charging a single person $1k/year is a true hypothetical. It couldn't happen legally in the US.
