X reached out to me, saying we violated some ToS by selling data and selling some things that bypassed API keys.

We don't do that, never did, never will.

They linked directly to my open source code as the reason for deletion.

Code I didn't even mostly write, was hacked together from other OSS stuff

They said they'd get off our back if we paid $50k/mo for the Enterprise license

We pay $1k/mo for the yellow check and $200/mo for the dev license

Why would an enterprise account change my ability to publish open source code?

It was extortion, plain and simple, and it shouldn't be legal

I don't want to be part of a system like that. It's everything I stand against.

Debating whether to make this a legal issue or not
