The words in my head are “Breach of Contract” and “Fraud”
Treehouse had an agreement with Wordpress. Wordpress provided communication resources to Treehouse, and was, at least, able to gather usage data on Treehouse. That is an agreement to exchange things of value, on agreed terms. That’s a contract. If Wordpress cuts Treehouse off, on the pretext that Treehouse breached the agreement, when Treehouse didn’t breach the agreement, that’s breach of contract, and fraud. Someone with legal training could do better than I, as to whether anything can be done with this.
