Doesn't FB have the right to not do business with you? What is the basis for the suit?

Anyway I do remember FB's "a cool "open source" way to do front-end development, feel "free" to use it, you can't sue us though". So maybe there is some shitty clause like that when you sign up.

Withholding your money and then when you (rightfully) sue them for that, retaliating and kicking you off the platform entirely?

Was it not a clause in the react js or so, that you lose the right to use the framework if you sued Facebook?

React is MIT licensed, so no.

This is true (if we take "was" literally). Though IIRC it was only if you sued them over patents.

And this is also true (now).
