1.2.1. disseminate material that is abusive, obscene, pornographic, defamatory,
harassing, grossly offensive, vulgar, threatening, or malicious;
1.2.2. aide or implement practices that violate or are intended to violate basic human
rights or civil liberties (for clarity, you may not use the Service Offerings to
assist in the creation of databases of identifying information for any government
to abrogate any human rights, civil rights, or civil liberties of individuals on the
basis of race, gender, gender expression or gender identity, sexual orientation,
religion, age, national origin or based on any protected classification under
applicable laws);
Law student pede, that's why I asked for the TOS. I think 1.2.1-2 is more akin to Title VII claims, like protected classes. So, for instance, a company cannot use mapbox to identify black or Hispanic people, women, handicapped people, etc. Political party is not protected under Title VII.
However, 1.2.4 is more promising: "operate a product or service where the use or failure of the Services could lead to death, personal injury or significant property or environmental damage." With the riots and targeting of Trump supporters in public and at their homes, I think this is a better argument
(edit) I would preface the "better argument" statement by saying that someone needs to use the service to carry out some attack on a person or their property first. A claim in the abstract is no good in courts, unfortunately
Where are the TOS for mapbox?

Would 1.2.1 not fit that bill also?
So, we need something to go down before we can stop things from going down?
