From the article
> The FTC website says that any individual company acting on its own may "refuse to do business with another firm, but an agreement among competitors not to do business with targeted individuals or businesses may be an illegal boycott, especially if the group of competitors working together has market power.
This is actually reasonable. Any one company can refuse to do business but can’t coordinate with competitors
I suppose it might be difficult to prove that the companies deliberately coordinated with each other to not do business with someone, vs. that they each independently decided that the person broke their rules and to ban them separately.
