They could simply follow the law and fulfill their contracts, could they not?

There is no law, there's just politics.

Rules only exist for those who don't make them.

they did fulfill their contracts, which said that they can terminate service for any reason
According to Wikipedia, PayPal claimed they canceled the service because wikileak's funding origination, Wau Holland Foundation, violated its "Acceptable Use Policy" by engaging in "illegal activities".

Wau Holland Foundation is responding by suing PayPal. That's how the law works.

Partisan politics has no place in business.
