A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I find it hard to believe that it's legal to buy a company, but not it's contractual obligations. Seems line a hell of a loophole for getting out of things you don't want to do.
This would almost certainly depend on the contracts themselves.
Contracts always have some bullshit like: "We can do whatever the fuck we want. Service not guaranteed. We have the right to refuse service to anyone. Lifetime is defined by the lifetime of the service which is defined by us. Can change at anytime."
