Someone should invent a sue-as-a-service ("SaaS") where you can just sue companies in a couple clicks if they shutdown your services or have bad account management that leads to downtime.

Considering the problems are repetetetive, the legal documents can easily be templated and reused and the victim would not have to waste much time or effort in court. Scale the lawyers just like we scale cloud instances.

Maybe even have a way to programmatically sue based on automated downtime metrics.

The reason this hasn't been done is that the ToS for all enterprise-scale cloud services would prevent success, either by requiring arbitration vs. litigation, or via a disclaimer of liability.

If it's so easy to prevent someone from ligitating why don't all small businesses do this? For example, why don't restaurants have you sign a ToS on the menu saying that by ordering you agree to not ligitate?

Isn't that what a class-action lawsuit is for?

I don't know how to start one. It would be nice to have an API to deal with that for me.
