    You can sue your… customers, basically for choosing not to do business with you!?

    Even if he wins a one-time payment (no way), how could this do anything but make everyone not want to advertise on Twitter??

      You don’t understand. Bad publicity is good publicity.

      Or maybe, in this particular case… No publicity.

      No publicity is good bad publicity like… Well yeah you might have a point there

      You can in case of protected group discrimination sue the business, but suing customers is something new.

      To quote Legal Eagle on Nebula: it depends. Suppose that the customers had a deal with Twitter granting them special pricing, but on the condition that they spend a certain amount during a given period. Then the customers could be breaching the terms of the contract by dropping out halfway through. I’m not saying that’s what’s happening here, and IANAL of course, but it seems plausible to me.
