His point wasn't about whether or not the owners could or could not support a candidate, it was whether or not they should support a candidate.
You're absolutely right, it is up to the owners. And this seems to be pretty cool. But most coffee shop owners (which seems to be the target) will not want to alienate part of their already small group of customers.

This may come off as a joke, but dead serious:
It seems you have never gone to get coffee in San Francisco.
Publishers most likely won't know this is happening.
> Cafe customers that just want coffee and wifi and not your political convictions will dislike this.
It is up to the cafe owner whether they want to do this, or whether they want to put a political sign on their windows for that matter.
> The privacy conscious who now have their browsing data being sent off to an anonymous third party will dislike this.
All advertising networks sends browsing data to third parties. Whether it is this one or some other one doesn't seem that big a deal.
