"Due process"?? Buying Legos from the official store is not some kind of inherent human right. They can sell to whom they want. No doubt this person was breaking the terms of service. Explaining why he's banned would likely give away something about how they know he was cheating the system, which makes future fraud easier.

- neotek 7y agoAh yes, the well known Orwellian police state tactic of politely asking users not to call each other stupid.

- robbrown451 7y agoNor is it an inherent right to operate a business to sell Legos in any given country. Instead, they operate in countries that allow them to do business there. The people in many of those countries, whether due to "inherent human right" or because they fought for it, have the right to vote and elect representatives to make laws. So if those people decide that companies can't just ban people from doing business with them without "due process", they can put that into law. I don't personally buy into the idea that anything is an "inherent human right," it's all social contract from my perspective. Businesses are subject to it as well.
