I'm not expecting this to happen for many financial and sociopolitical reasons, but I wish NYU would sue Facebook before November 30 seeking a declaratory judgment that their extension complies with all applicable laws and also with FB's terms of service (leaving aside the obvious catch-all of "we can cut you off for no reason in our sole discretion").

Too many threats like this from FB and other powerful entities yield unwarranted capitulation. If those powerful entities had to fear a real risk of losing a lawsuit on the topic of their baseless threat, they'd at least think before threatening and would sometimes refrain. Alas.
