Well let’s be fair here.

They made that conscious decision after running away with the money.

After the first few mil wouldn’t you understand your partner a little better?

At 57 it’s a rocky divorce and you know full well who you were sleeping with.

To be fair, it's a business transaction. I can sell you $50 million widgets, and decide to not sell you any more for (almost) any reason.

Depends on the product and your reason for refusing to sell to a particular customer/group who is not against your TOS. This is not like there was a contract and you decide not to extend. It sounds more like "I dont sell to gays anymore and I don't have to explain myself to you". Not cool. Especially if you rely on that product for your business. Even if your business is something like Shared.com.

Yeah but this is not really the same. You spend money on advertising to build up your brand, your followers are your capital. Facebook took money for ads, that did indeed build up the follower capital, but then suddenly they didn't just stop accepting ads (which would have been fine), they destroyed the capital by removing their page.

At least that's how I understand what happened.

Divorces often happen when one parties standards change.
