you're describing the "dude got banned" part the other part is "dude is threatened with a lawsuit if anything he ever codes ever touches anything facebook, even if he himself never uses it" the store analogy is bad anyways -- I could try to correct it, but it's so non-analogous that the result would be contrived and convoluted the key point is that I, as someone who wants to use his browser extension to make my facebook experience healthier, no longer can do so because facebook banned me from using the tool, too so I guess a horrible store analogy would be, the store disallows me from using a wheelchair to access their store if he built the wheelchair, and also if he builds the wheelchair he gets sued it's just like the most recent facebook whistleblower said: facebook prioritizes profits over user safety, and will until they are forced to prioritize user safety higher -- just like OSHA made companies do for employees, the FDA made food and drug companies do for users, etc.
