I tweeted about password being sent in clear text from Adyen (a payment service provider). They called me up and told me I could not be a customer since I had damaged their reputation.

1) Why would you want to use them after that, and 2) you bloody well deserved it.

1) Fair point. I guess it shows the poor state of the other payment providers :)

2) Care to elaborate? Obviously I disagree. I pointed out a fact and they responded saying I damaged their reputation and saying they don't want customers to talk about them on social media.

They can refuse you service for whatever reason they like. You did damage their reputation, even if they deserved it. It may not be a dispassionate business decision that got you banned, probably just a "well fuck this guy then" from a sales manager somewhere.

Of course, they are legally allowed to refuse service for whatever reason they like - but that doesn't mean that refusing service for such reasons is okay or proper.

Sure. Just giving my story here and expressing my opinion that I think it was not a wise move or sense reasoning.
