There are no rules saying they can't. This is all still legal if completely immoral. SCOTUS is a co-equal branch of the government which in the past had be given to regulating itself. It's starting to look like Congress will have to step in and pass some ethics constraints since SCOTUS won't adopt one.
I don't care what their politics is. I hope pro publica takes this up and tracks the money to the source and prints eye watering story about it.
Don't forget they also planned on blocking NSFW and other posts as well from any 3rd parties.
He's a liar, there is no way the would have let 3rd party apps use their API for over a decade if they "didn't mean for 3rd party apps..."
