I agree that GitHub’s actions are not regulated by the constitution or criminal.
Additionally I imagine Guthub’s contract terms are such that they can cancel at any time for any reason.
What I intended to say is “I agree the poster who complains of retroactive account deletion. We can look to the constitutional process for some reasons why retroactive punishment might be a bad idea.”
I did not mean to imply that GitHub’s actions were unconstitutional. They were bad actions for the same reasons that the constitution bars retroactive punishment. It’s hard to guide current behavior based on future law. They were likely legal.
